PPM/PNC leadership unites to back Dr. Muizzu's candidacy

The leadership of the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) and the People's National Congress (PNC) have decided to endorse and back the PNC candidate, Malé City Mayor Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, in the upcoming presidential election.

The opposition coalition made this decision following intense debates within the senate, stemming from the Supreme Court's ruling against President Abdulla Yameen. The main opposition party, PPM, initially sought to nominate the former president as their candidate for this year's election. However, the Elections Commission (EC) rejected his candidacy.
