Former Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom has announced that he will contest in the upcoming Presidential Election.

Speaking at the People’s National Front (PNF) national rally held at Artificial Beach, Yameen expressed confidence that his name would appear on the ballot paper despite ongoing legal proceedings. He also voiced trust in his legal team to handle the matter effectively.

Yameen emphasised that the PNF’s political movement would continue across the country, extending from the northern to the southern atolls, and that the party would include capable and determined individuals in its efforts.

He further stated that all other political leaders had failed to fulfil their responsibilities and reaffirmed that the PNF remained committed to holding the government accountable.
