Incumbent president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom Thursday looked to sway his nephew -- youngest son of ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) leader Maumoon Abdul Gayoom to his faction of the now divided party with the promise of a parliament seat.
Ghassan Maumoon is the only child of the elder Gayoom who has thus far refused to take sides in the bitter power struggle between his father and uncle.
