Key Figures from The Democrats Rejoin MDP

Four key figures from The Democrats—Vice President Mohamed Shifaz, council member and former Central Henveiru MP Ali Azim, presidential running mate Hussain Amr, and former MDP member Ibrahim Rasheed—rejoined the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) on Friday. They met with The Democrats President Hassan Latheef to explain their reasons. Latheef resigned as president but has not confirmed rejoining. Azim was previously expelled from MDP for involvement in a no-confidence motion and press conferences criticizing the government's stance on maritime boundary delimitation with Mauritius. His expulsion led to defections that formed The Democrats, led by former President Mohamed Nasheed. Internal divisions after the presidential primary are seen as a factor in MDP's election defeat.
