MDP is more than just an individual: Nashiz

Kinbidhoo MP Mohamed Nashiz has said that the results of the Guraidhoo by-election have shown that Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) does not need to rely on the power and influence of an individual, but can operate on its political principles.

According to Nasheed's close aides, MDP won previous elections by using party president Mohamed Nasheed as its face. Nasheed's stand against the current government has also been described as a loss of support for MDP and a loss for President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih in the upcoming presidential election.
