MDP, The Democrats Express Concern Over Maldives’ Foreign Policy Shift

The Maldivian Democratic Party and The Democrats formalised their alliance at a joint press conference on 24 January 2024, expressing concern over the Muizzu administration's foreign policy direction, particularly what they described as a shift toward an anti-India stance. The two parties, holding 55 of the 87 seats in parliament, also outlined issues including state-owned enterprise governance, political appointees, fiscal transparency and the release of flats and land plots to Malé residents, and made a formal request for an extraordinary parliamentary sitting.
