This decision to delegate mayoral responsibilities to Deputy Mayor Naresh was made with the understanding that it is legally permissible and in the best interest of the city’s residents, given the time constraints for day-to-day city council tasks. Dr. Muizzu emphasised the importance of a smooth transition, enabling him to assume his presidential duties on November 17 effectively.
Furthermore, Dr. Muizzu acknowledged that certain pending tasks of the city council would be addressed in the coming days without prior authorisation. He expressed his hope that the elected councillors would perform their duties diligently to serve the interests of the public.
