The Maldives opposition remained quiet Wednesday over details of a coalition agreement that was only vaguely mentioned in the campaign manifesto.
The joint candidate of four opposition parties, Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, on Sunday defeated President Abdulla Yameen in the election.
The coalition comprises the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party, the religious conservative Adhaalath Party, the Jumhooree Party and the Maumoon Reform Movement, a breakaway faction of the ruling party.
All four opposition leaders are either in prison or in exile. They are Mohamed Nasheed (MDP), Sheikh Imran Abdulla (AP), Gasim Ibrahim (JP) and Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.
