With a vision for "big change", Nasheed returns to MDP's helm

Former President Mohamed Nasheed left MDP in July 2023 after a fallout with then-President Solih. After two electoral defeats, Nasheed relocated to Ghana. Fayyaz Ismail traveled to Africa to meet Nasheed, leading to his return on June 23, 2025, at a rally in Sultan Park. Nasheed resumed active role, but internal frictions emerged. On April 19, Nasheed and Fayyaz presented 'The Big Change' proposal, including separation of head of state and head of government roles. Nasheed endorsed Fayyaz for presidential candidate in 2028. In the chairperson election, Nasheed campaigned on 'Big Change' and won, visiting 84 islands and nearly 1,500 households.
