The personal finances and assets of Maldivian Democratic Party’s candidates for parliament were made public on Friday.
Asset disclosure forms submitted by 85 of the ruling party’s 86 candidates have been posted online, including the financial statement of former president Mohamed Nasheed for the first time.
Nasheed declared MVR5.4 million (US$349,288) as assets.
More than MVR5 million was in a joint account at the State Bank of India with an undisclosed partner. Local media speculated that the co-owner was likely to be former first Laila Ali, a shareholder in her family’s Alia Investments, one of the largest companies in the country.
