The Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) will undertake a membership drive, former president and leader of ruling party Maumoon Abdul Gayoom announced on Saturday.
At a meeting with the incumbent and newly elected PPM parliamentarians, Gayoom asserted that it was vital to further strengthen the party in order to ensure that it remains in government. He stated that the best way to do so is to increase the general membership.
He announced that the party has selected a ‘task force’ to undertake the work of increasing membership, and that work has already commenced in several atolls.
