The incoming administration of president-elect Ibrahim Mohamed Solih remains tightlipped on the composition of his cabinet and the agreement between the four coalition partners.
Mariya Ahmed Didi, the president-elect’s spokeswoman, says “discussions are ongoing” ahead of Solih’s inauguration on November 17.
According to media reports, there will be 22 ministries – up from 14 ministries in the outgoing administration – with 40 percent reserved for the Maldivian Democratic Party, 25 percent for the Jumhooree Party, 20 percent for the Maumoon Reform Movement and 15 percent for Adhaalath Party.
