The development follows speculation sparked by Nasheed's private meeting with Fayyaz at his residence on Sunday, followed by a lunch meeting the next day.

I welcome the decision of former President Mohamed Nasheed and members of The Democrats to join the party.
The MDP is the oldest party in the Maldives and was formed with the intention of introducing democracy and working for reform.
The fact that President Nasheed and members of The Democrats have joined this party at a time when we must be extremely vigilant about the actions of the government is an added encouragement in this endeavour.
remains open to anyone committed to working sincerely for the betterment of the country
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
