Adhaalath Party (AP) has accepted Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP)’s invitation to form a coalition for the upcoming presidential election, and announced its support for MDP’s presidential candidate, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.
The party, which is part of the coalition which won the 2018 presidential election, announced its decision in a statement Wednesday.
AP said it made the decision because it found that under the current circumstances, the re-election of President Solih for a second term in office is “in the best interest of the holy religion of Islam, the Maldives, and the Maldivian people, and because it is the most effective way the party can work to protect these interests.”
