Solih reaffirms support for Meekail, says Nasheed ‘a bit late’ to enter race

Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih reaffirmed his endorsement of Meekail Ahmed Naseem for Maldivian Democratic Party chairpersonship, saying former President Mohamed Nasheed was 'a bit late' in entering the race. The MDP is scheduled to hold its chairpersonship election on June 12, though a lawsuit filed with the Civil Court earlier in May seeks to amend the election timeline.
