Senior members of the 'Fikuregge Dhirun' movement which supports MDP President and Speaker of Parliament Mohamed Nasheed have resigned from the party.

These include several parliamentarians and senior members of MDP as well.

Former MD of STO, Hussain Amr who has lately been seen on the frontlines of the work of the movement revealed to One Online that he too had resigned from the party today along with several other members.

One Online has learned that they all had sent one letter to the Chairperson of MDP and Economic Minister Fayyaz Ismail. However, the letter did not reveal the reason behind their resignation.

Members who had resigned from MDP today include Deputy Speaker Eva Abdulla, MP Mohamed Waheed, MP Imthiyaz Fahmy (Inthi), MP Hassan Latheef, MP Ilyas Labeeb, MP Yasir Abdul Latheef, MP Hassan Afeef, MP Ibrahim Rasheed (Bonde), MP Hussain Firushan, MP Hassan Shiyan, MP Mohamed Rasheed (Boadhigu), and MP Ahmed Zahir, MDP Vice President Mohamed Shifaz, and Former STO MD Hussain Amr.

The rift between President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih and Speaker Nasheed peaked after Speaker Nasheed lost the MDP Presidential Primary back in January.

He has since been working against the President, forming the Fikuregge Dhirun faction within MDP.
