Former President Abdullah Yameen has decided to leave the Progressive Party of Maldives PPM to form his own party.
This was confirmed by the head of his lawyers team former Vice President Mohamed Jameel Ahmed in an exclusive interview with Channel 13 tonight.
Jameel said that the leaders of PPM and PNC do not attend the former President's trial hearings and that they have been talking against him on podiums.
Jameel said that even though PPM and PNC leaders said that they would work under the instruction of Yameen, they have been ignoring his calls.
The former Vice President said that the upcoming parliamentary elections are crucial with a greater need for more political work and that PPM has been 'hijacked' by the leaders of PNC.
Jameel said that the only option is to leave PPM and form a new party. In a later post on X, Jameel said that they have already begun the process of forming a new party.
