Adhaalath Party Leader Imran Abdulla has met with Jumhooree Party Leader Qasim Ibrahim in a bid to secure his support for President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih and join the government coalition.

A trusted source revealed to One Online that Home Minister Imran had traveled to Sun Island Resort on Sunday to meet with Qasim, also the parliament member for Maamigilli. Following the discussions, both of them returned to Malé this evening.

The meeting comes right after the President had invited Qasim for a meeting at the President's Office. Representatives of the President had also met with Qasim earlier to discuss coalition plans.

Only Adhaalath Party and MDA have accepted the invitation extended by the President to form a coalition with MDP. The invitation has also been extended to MRM and JP, who is yet to make a decision on the matter.
