Maldives National Party (MNP) Candidate for the Kurendhoo constituency in the upcoming Parliamentary Elections, Mohamed Yoosuf (Maya), has decided to step back and instead endorse Independent Candidate Abdul Ghani Abdul Hakeem.
Ghani is also the incumbent MP for the same constituency. Elected as a member of Maldivian Democratic Party, he switched parties and joined ruling People's National Congress (PNC) fairly recently.
