I’m spending far too much time writing about Hassan Saeed these days, but anyway what should be said has to be said. Many people are wondering where Hassan Saeed is since the establishment of the new opposition alliance. Gasim has fuller immersed himself, joining the campaign, visiting Haruge, so where on earth is the fair and lovely Hassan?

The stories are that Hassan Saeed is not going to fully commit to the campaign; he might make one official appearance to endorse the alliance and then go off by himself to campaign for the alliance, against Maumoon. Some say that this is because his financial backers wont allow him to fully endorse Anni.

Have you also happened to notice that Hassan Saeed has now created a political party, the Dhivehi Gaumee Party? Slightly hypocritical of his former campaign platform? According to rumour, Hassan has a slight problem sitting next to Anni and Gasim. He says he doesn’t want to lose his integrity. Ok seriously? He has a problem sitting next to Anni, who he personally charged with terrorism or Gasim who he was once in government with and sat with in Maumoon’s cabinet? Sounds slightly dubious don’t you think. You would also think that being a politician, he would be man enough to deal with his broken pride and precious integrity enough to realise that fully committing to and campaigning with the opposition alliance will strengthen his future political career and also allow him to achieve his and his supporter’s vision of defeating Maumoon. Or is he not being genuine about wanting this change? What happened to all the unconditional offers of assistance and endorsement? I have so many questions about this man! Where is he to give us all these answers?

There are many people, Hassan, Ibra, Gasim and Anni supporters who are calling on their respective candidates to commit to this alliance in order to bring down Maumoon, and establish change in the country. However, it is demoralising for those who once supported Hassan to see him being so aloof and indecisive about matters. Either, Hassan needs to publicly make a stand and say what he’s going to do or not do and his reasons for his or he needs to step up to the plate, get on a boat/air taxi/dhoni and get on stage with the rest of the alliance. Likewise, a little pressure from his supporters wouldn’t hurt either. After all, isn’t that the people power that he defined as his agenda for the election? The people want a change, help us to achieve it.
