We have heard ad nauseam that MDP does not have capable leaders. Such a slight could have perhaps been plausible about a month back, before the party formed a coalition with Gaumee Itthihaad Party. And now with the formation of the 'Wathan Edhey Gothah…' coalition, the accusation borders on the ridiculous.
Today while the ruling team also has capable leaders, Wathan Edhey team can credibly match them man for man. To illustrate this, let us compare possible choices for some key cabinet positions. Such a comparison can only be hypothetical because the size and shape of the future cabinet is unlikely to be the same as at present, even if DRP wins the election. Further it is difficult to predict who will be offered cabinet posts and who will accept. Keeping these limitations in mind, here are some possible pairs.
Education:
- Dr. Waheed
- Zahiya Zareer
Health:
- Ilyas
- Dr. Aminath Jameel
Trade and Tourism
- Ali Hashim
- Yamin
Fisheries
- Dr. Hussein Rasheed
- Dr. Fathin Hameed

- Dr. Abdul Majeed
Legal Reform:
- Mohamed Nasheed
- Dr. Hassan Saeed
Attorney General
- Azima
- Dhiyana Saeed
Justice
- Dr. Jameel

Atolls

- Dr. Mohamed Ali
External Affairs
- Dr. Shaheed
- Abdullah Shahid
Planning
- Hamdhoon Hameed
- Abdul Bari Abdullah
Youth
- Dr. Aishath Shiham
- Hamid Abdul Ghafoor
It's the people who will decide on the 28th which team they want.
Note: The above is not an exhaustive list of all possible ministries or all possible candidates.
