Saying MDP alone cannot win election demeans the party: Nasheed

Former President Mohamed Nasheed dismissed former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's claim that no single party can win a presidential election in the Maldives, calling it an insult to the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP). Speaking at a meeting in GDh. Faresmaathodaa, Nasheed asserted that MDP could win alone, citing potential membership of 100,000 and 160,000 votes for candidate Meekail Ahmed Naseem. He criticized smaller parties like Adhaalath Party and Jumhoori Party for lacking public support. Solih, at a campaign rally for Meekail, argued that history shows coalitions are necessary, noting that both Nasheed and former President Abdulla Yameen came to power through alliances. MDP currently has 60,000 members.
