Qasim Calls for President’s Resignation as Tensions Rise

Jumhooree Party leader Qasim Ibrahim called for the resignation of President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih at his party's 158th council meeting, citing the Anti-Corruption Commission's halting of the US$20 million sale of Vaavedhi Faru, a lagoon owned by his Villa conglomerate, and the resulting financial difficulties. The JP, a member of the MDP-led ruling coalition, has decided not to renew the coalition or support President Solih's re-election.
