Former Vice President Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmed will join the opposition Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) tonight, where he will be appointed as the Advisor of the party.

A senior official of PPM who was questioned regarding this by "One" did not refute the claims.

Sources reveal that the event will take place at 8:00 pm tonight, where Dr. Jameel will sign to the party and be appointed as the advisor.

Dr. Jameel stepped down from a member of the Jumhooree Party earlier in the year, citing that he needed more time to dedicate to the works regarding freeing former President Abdulla Yameen. He is also a part of President Yameen's legal team.

Dr. Jameel first filled in as the Vice President for President Yameen, who was met with widespread criticism for sacking him. He later joined JP, but has been heavily criticising the party and ruling coalition after joining President Yameen's legal team.
