Sadiq takes oath of office as Member of Parliament

Abdullah Sadiq has been sworn in as a Member of Parliament for the Hithadhoo North constituency after winning the by-election on 6 June with 1,375 votes. He took the oath before Supreme Court Judge Hussain Shahid. The seat became vacant after a court ruling determined that Ahmed Sinan, elected in 2024, had a proven debt. Sadiq represents the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), increasing its parliamentary representation to 13 members. Previously, Sadiq served as the first Mayor of Addu City for three terms and as State Minister at the Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure. The 20th Parliament has 93 members: 74 from PNC, 13 from MDP, 2 from MDA, 1 from JP, 1 from MNP, and 2 independents.
