Muizzu, Yameen Maintain Amicable Relations Amid Challenges

Transitional spokesperson Mohamed Firzul Abdulla Khaleel discussed the relationship between President-elect Mohamed Muizzu and former President Abdulla Yameen. Muizzu's electoral victory was backed by Yameen's PPM-PNC coalition, but interactions have been limited due to Yameen's legal status (11-year sentence for bribery and money laundering, house arrest) and Muizzu's busy schedule. Muizzu's appeal to transfer Yameen to house arrest was approved by outgoing President Solih. However, Yameen's supporters have been rallying outside Muizzu's residence, defying Muizzu's request, and Yameen indirectly encouraged the gatherings.
