The Adhaalath Party has decided to form a coalition with the PNC for the remainder of the current term and to work towards electing President Dr Mohamed Muizzu in the upcoming presidential election.

President Muizzu had invited the Adhaalath Party to work with the government, stating that the cooperation of political parties is needed to strengthen religious affairs, defend the nation's sovereignty and independence, and improve the economy.

Following that invitation, a resolution passed by the party's consultative council last night said the party would work as a partner of the government for the remainder of the current term.

The resolution also states that the party will take part in the 2028 presidential election as a coalition member with the PNC and work in support of the PNC's presidential candidate, President Muizzu. The resolution said that the purpose for which the Adhaalath Party was founded is to protect Islam, the national identity of Maldivians, and the independence and sovereignty of the Maldives, and to advance and develop the nation based on Islamic faith and principles. It also said that working together to maintain the nation's political stability and to strengthen national unity is in the best interest of the nation.

While the Adhaalath Party has now decided to back President Muizzu in the upcoming presidential election, the party was in a coalition with the government of former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. Before that, the Adhaalath Party had also been part of the governments of former President Mohamed Nasheed and former President Abdulla Yameen.
