Dr. Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik is back in the Maldives to compete in the country's first ever multi- party Presidential election to be held in October this year. "Waheed is so unpredictable" says a friend of mine who is also a very close friend of Waheed. According to Waheed's friend "Waheed may be considered as a practical joke. But you can get him right only after you get along with him. He is a good man with a simple agenda".
Waheed is an experienced guy with an academic background to back him. Critics say that his only problem is flying abroad after each and every failure. However, Waheed defends himself saying that is puerly for the benefit of the reform process. He mentioned more than once and clearly explained his motive behind leaving Maldives. He feels that he may not be a clean person if he stays in the Maldives to serve under both the Government or any of the Business tycoons, whom he describes all Corrupt and notorious.
Waheed has once joined the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), the pioneer of this reform process, however vanised within no time when he was defeated in the MDP leadership race in the first ever MDP congress. This clearly discredited the hardworking Maldivians actively involved in the reform process and proved that he is one of the power hungry opportunists in the upcoming presidential election.
If Waheed still wanted to serve the Community, we strongly urge him to get-bond with the opposition MDP.
