Ibra Quits MDP, Again!

Ibrahim Ismail (Ibra), founding president of the Maldives Democratic Party (MDP), has resigned from the party for the second time. He accuses the MDP-led government of worsening state affairs and unduly influencing the judiciary. Ibra, an initial signatory of MDP, claims the party has deviated from its founding principles of human dignity and equality. He alleges that the Civil Court has been subsumed into the Attorney General's Office and the High Court is under the President's Office's legal department. He also cites personal grievances over the termination of a contract for his enterprise, Mandhu College. Ibra's first resignation was in 2006 when he formed the Social Liberal Party (SLP) and contested the 2008 presidential election. He later re-joined MDP after endorsing its candidate. He joins a list of founding members, including former President Mohamed Nasheed, who have left the party due to perceived deviations.
