The internal senate of the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) got into a heated argument on Thursday after some members raised concerns about the delays in presenting an alternative candidate for the presidential election in case former President Abdulla Yameen is unable to participate.
Yameen is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence for accepting a bribe of USD 1 million in the lease of Vaavu atoll Aarah and engaging in money laundering with the illicit funds.
