She stressed the importance of installing an honest and capable Maldivian to guide Male’ towards realising its full potential as the country’s capital.

Azima committed to implementing the strategic plan devised by the current mayor and President-elect, Dr. Mohamed Muizzu.

The by-election for the mayoral position arises from the vacancy resulting from Muizzu’s triumph in the presidential election held in September. With Muizzu set to assume the presidential office on November 17, he is currently on leave from his mayoral duties.

Notably, other contenders have also participated for the mayoral race, including Youth and Sports Minister Ahmed Mahloof and former Police Commissioner Hussain Waheed.
