Ex-MDP Chairperson Moosa opines Fayyaz should resign if contesting in primaries

Former Chairperson of Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) 'Reeko' Moosa Manik has stated that he believes it would be best practice for Fayyaz Ismail to resign from the position of party Chairperson if he intends to contest in the primaries for the 2028 presidential election.

Fayyaz announced his intention to run for President following a general disagreement that arose amongst the party's leadership following MDP's X account sharing photos of some members of MDP's leadership visiting the fish market to hear concerns of fishermen. With his announcement, his supporters are now campaigning in aid of his candidacy.
