Hussain Amru appointed as running mate for Ilyas Labeeb

Former STO Managing Director Hussain Amr has been appointed as the running mate of The Democrats' Presidential Candidate and Hulhudhoo MP Ilyas Labeeb. The duo is scheduled to submit their candidacy form today.

Earlier, there were rumours circulating that Deputy Speaker of Parliament Eva Abdulla might become Ilyas Labeeb's running mate. Speculation suggested that The Democrats had offered to clear Eva's criminal record in order to secure her candidacy. However, the situation took a different direction when Hussain Amr joined The Democrats' recent campaign tour. Prior to embarking on the tour, Amr denied the rumors and affirmed his backing for Ilyas, dismissing any discontent with The Democrats as baseless.
