Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayyoom has decided to leave Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) due to lack of cooperation from the leadership.
The announcement was made by former Vice President Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmed, who is part of President Yameen’s legal team.
In an interview with Channel 13, Jameel said that President Yameen has been expelled from the PPM leadership and that he has not been consulted regarding anything. Jameel also said that the current President, Dr. Mohammed Muizzu and Special Advisor to the President, Abdul Raheem Abdulla (Adhurey) do not even answer their phones.
Therefore, President Yameen’s intention is to form a new political party, he said. Jameel also said that that is what a lot of people who support President Yameen now want him to do.
