Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih called on the breakaway party from Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), The Democrats, to work together again for the sake of MDP's future. Former President Mohamed Nasheed responded positively to Solih's comments, expressing hopes of reaching the shared goals.
Solih made these comments on an interview with Raajje TV on the occasion of MDP's 19th anniversary. He said that it is a huge loss for a group from within the party to leave after having started MDP together many years ago.
