The Democrats to Join Muizzu’s Incoming Government Amid Controversial Moves by Nasheed

The Democrats, a splinter faction of the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), have declared their intention to join President-elect Dr. Mohamed Muizz's administration. This follows a controversial appeal by party leader Mohamed Nasheed to re-enter the MDP. Henveiru West MP Hassan Latheef, founder of The Democrats, announced the news via social media. Nasheed seeks readmission to the MDP, requiring support from at least 50% of its national council, but the majority has refused and opposes a shift to a parliamentary system. Initial bipartisan discussions after the first presidential round resulted in a verbal agreement on The Democrats' role, with negotiations expected to start soon.
