Shahudhee had resigned from PPM in July 2017 and was among the 10 lawmakers who had stripped from their Parliament seats, following the controversial ruling issued by the Supreme Court of the Maldives after they had signed the no confidence motion against then Parliament Speaker Abdullah Maseeh. They were ordered to revoke their signatures, but had refused to obey.
Of recent, former Defense Minister Colonel (Rtd) Mohamed Nazim as well as MP for Feydhoo constituency Alhan Fahmy had also signed onto Jumhooree Party.
Shahudhee was also among the 12 lawmakers unseated by the Elections Commission in 2017, which has since been nullified by the Supreme Court.
