Moosa Ali Jaleel described the two years and five months of President Muizzu’s mayoral leadership as a “Golden Era” for Male’, marked by visible service improvements, stronger institutional performance, and decisive leadership focused on results.
He highlighted that during this period, the President maintained a close connection with residents through regular town hall meetings, allowing the administration to directly engage with citizens and address long standing urban challenges that had remained unresolved for years.
Concluding his remarks, Moosa Ali Jaleel said his decision to contest the mayoral election was inspired by President Muizzu’s dedication, discipline, and development focused approach. He pledged to build on the President’s vision and continue the trajectory of progress established during his leadership, positioning Male’ for sustained improvement and responsive governance.
