MDP Realigns Strategy Post-Election; Ex-President Solih Meets Newly Elected MPs
The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) is realigning its strategy after a major defeat in the 21 April 2024 parliamentary elections. Senior advisor and former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih met with newly elected MDP lawmakers in Malé to discuss the party's future direction. MDP Chairperson Fayyaz Ismail thanked outgoing lawmakers and emphasized continued commitment to national interests. The MDP, which held a supermajority in the previous parliament, secured only 12 seats despite fielding candidates for 90 of 93 seats, while the ruling People's National Congress (PNC) won a supermajority amid allegations of bribery and intimidation.
