Former vice president Dr Mohamed Jameel Ahmed returned to the Maldives Saturday afternoon after living in exile in the United Kingdom for more than three years.
He was greeted at the airport by Jumhooree Party leader Gasim Ibrahim and members of the JP’s leadership. Opposition lawmakers and Adhaalath Party leaders also welcomed Jameel but no one was present from the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party.
Along with former ministers Mohamed Maleeh Jamal and Abdulla Ameen, Jameel joined the JP in February to serve as a special advisor to Gasim. Jameel and his associates teamed up with Gasim whilst the tycoon was living in Frankfurt, Germany.
Gasim returned home on Thursday after more than a year in exile.
