President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih visited three islands in the Maavah constituency in his campaign tour on Tuesday. His first stop was L. Maavah – the island in the constituency with the biggest population.
A young girl, Anam, was among the first in the line welcoming President Solih to Maavah. She told the president; “I want to walk to an airplane.”
Like Anam, many in the region want a second airport.
Addressing a rally in Maavah, President Solih pledges to have a second airport in the L. Atoll ready during his next term.
“This is a pledge we make. A pledge that we will, In Sha Allah, deliver,” he said.
Many of President Solih’s supporters in the island expressed confidence he will win re-election in round one of voting.

“I believe President Solih deserves a second term. Because many things have been done for this island during this administration. Look, the work on Fenaka, and the work on the sea wall are complete,” said one resident.
