Saying MDP alone cannot win election demeans the party: Nasheed

Former President Mohamed Nasheed dismissed former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's claim that no party can win a presidential election alone, calling it an insult to the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP). Speaking in GDh. Faresmaathodaa, Nasheed asserted that MDP could gain 100,000 members and obtain 160,000 votes independently. He criticized Solih for sidelining MDP members in favor of small parties like Jumhoori Party and Adhaalath Party, which he claimed lack public support. Solih, at a campaign rally for Meekail Ahmed Naseem, argued that history shows no single party can win alone and that coalitions are necessary, citing past administrations of Nasheed and Yameen. MDP currently has 60,000 members and needs an additional 90,000 votes to win a presidential election.
