Ex-President Yameen to Register New Party on Sunday

Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom is set to register a new political party on Sunday, as confirmed by former Minister Mohamed Maleeh Jamal. This move follows Yameen's departure from the Progressive Party of the Maldives (PPM) due to a growing rift with President Mohamed Muizzu. Yameen's lawyer Mohamed Jameel Ahmed stated the decision was difficult, citing exclusion from PPM consultations and Muizzu's lack of communication. Internal tensions escalated after the PPM/PNC Joint Senate chose Muizzu over Yameen for the presidential election, and Yameen's call for a boycott after the Supreme Court disqualified him due to his conviction in the MMPRC corruption scandal. Yameen is currently under house arrest but has limited freedom for medical treatments. The new party aims to contest in the upcoming parliamentary elections and the 2028 presidential election.
