Political Parties Gear Up for Parliamentary Primaries Amid Scheduling Adjustments

Political parties in the Maldives are adjusting the dates of their parliamentary primaries: the PPM-PNC coalition has proposed moving its primaries from 20 to 27 January, the MDP has pushed its primaries to 3 February, and the Democrats have scheduled theirs for 17 February with new eligibility criteria. The MDP still holds 43 of the 87 parliamentary seats after 12 members defected to the PNC, and has awarded tickets to 46 candidates.
