Fayyaz joins Ali Azim's campaign for Malé mayor

Former Chairperson of Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Fayyaz Ismail has joined the campaign activities of Ali Azim, who is contesting the Malé City Mayoral election on the MDP ticket.

Azim's campaign, named "Gadhakoh", began on the 20th of this month near the Artificial Beach area.

As Fayyaz, who recently resigned as MDP Chairperson, joins the efforts to garner support for Azim, a three-term MP for the Central Henveiru constituency, individuals close to former President Mohamed Nasheed are also actively campaigning for him.

Speaking at a meeting held this afternoon by Azim's campaign team, Fayyaz stated that Ali Azim is the type of candidate who will make MDP members feel the presence of an MDP Mayor.

During the launch event, Azim stated that the MDP is a party built upon specific principles and has always worked to secure what the people deserve.

Due to internal disagreements within the MDP, Azim previously left the party and joined The Democrats. However, he rejoined the MDP earlier this year.

In addition to Ali Azim, the other candidate campaigning for the Mayoral seat on the MDP ticket is the current Mayor, Adam Azim. Adam Azim secured the Mayoral seat in the by-election held after the former Mayor, Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, resigned upon being elected to the Presidency.
