Maldives Political Landscape Shifts as Parties Align for Parliamentary Elections
The Maldivian political landscape is shifting as parties align for the upcoming parliamentary elections. The PPM and ruling PNC have agreed to contest together, forming a coalition under President Muizzu's leadership. However, former President Yameen left the PPM to form a new party, the People's National Front (PNF), citing disagreements. PNC Chairperson Abdul Raheem Abdulla reaffirmed the coalition's commitment to Muizzu's leadership. Meanwhile, the PNC is exploring alliances with the Jumhooree Party (JP). The MDP, which holds a super-majority in parliament, is preparing to retain its majority after a loss in the presidential elections. The Democrats, formed by Nasheed's supporters, also hold seats. These changes will realign the parliamentary makeup.
