Former Foes to Join Forces in New Political Trajectory
Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom announced that his People's National Front (PNF) will collaborate with the long-standing adversary Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP). This follows the High Court overturning his 11-year jail sentence and ordering a retrial. Yameen expressed gratitude to MDP for supporting some PNF candidates in Sunday's parliamentary elections. MDP clarified that while no formal coalition exists, collaboration will occur. Both parties found common ground on transparency, concerns over replacing Indian military personnel with civilians, and leasing land to foreign entities. MDP has not confirmed the partnership.
