The Election Commission (EC) has approved the formation of the People’s National Front (PNF), the new political party headed by former president Abdulla Yameen.
President Yameen is a prisoner and is not allowed to form a political party. Therefore, his son Zain Abdulla Yameen has been proposed as the founder of the party.
On behalf of President Yameen, member of his legal team and former Vice President Dr. Mohammed Jameel Ahmed and former Minister Mohammed Maleeh Jamal have been leading the process of the party formation.
While the application for permission to form the PNF was submitted on Tuesday, the opportunity to register as a member of the party has now been opened.
