After initially refusing to accept the joint coalition of Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) and People's National Congress (PNC) decision not to boycott the presidential election, former President Abdulla Yameen has changed his stance and has endorsed PNC candidate and Malé City Mayor Dr. Mohamed Muizzu.
Yameen's change of opinion was confirmed by former Vice President and leader of Yameen's legal team, Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmed.
