The Movement for Reforms and Development of Tajikistan has officially exited the NDT.

The official statement of the Movement for Reforms and Development of Tajikistan was published on August 13 on the organization’s official Facebook page.

The leader of the movement, Sharofiddin Gadoev, also confirmed the organization’s exit from the National Alliance of Tajikistan, established on September 9, 2018.

The exit of the Movement for Reforms and Development of Tajikistan was explained by the fact that the National Alliance of Tajikistan did not achieve any of its set goals, that the leader of the alliance, Mukiddin Kabiri, has been in charge of the coalition without interruption, and that most members of the alliance were members of the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan, which “created an imbalance and leads to all decisions being made in favor of the chairman of the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan,” the statement said.

The statement also noted that when the leader of the movement, Sharofiddin Gadoev, demanded Mukiddin Kabiri’s resignation from the leadership position, the council members sided with Kabiri and accused Gadoev of provocation and betrayal. It is not reported whether this was the only reason for the organization’s exit from the NAT.

“In light of the above, the Movement for Reforms and Development of Tajikistan firmly announces its exit from the National Alliance of Tajikistan,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, the deputy head of the NAT, Alim Sherzamonov, stated the day before in a conversation with Shavkat Muhammad on the YouTube channel “PAYOM tv” that the council’s goal was not to expel Gadoev from the coalition, but that he himself began to speak indecently and act inadequately. In the end, the council members were forced to make the decision to exclude Gadoev from the National Alliance of Tajikistan.

According to Sherzamonov, despite Gadoev’s indecent actions, only two votes were needed to prevent his exclusion from the coalition. Sherzamonov also rejected the claim that all decisions of the members of the National Alliance of Tajikistan are made in favor of Kabiri.

The deputy head of the National Alliance of Tajikistan noted that the issue of Kabiri’s long tenure as the leader of the NAT, which Gadoev himself stated was the reason for his exit from the NAT, had been discussed multiple times before, but the NAT council had never accepted his resignation.
