Ihavandhoo MP Mohamed Abdulla ‘Muhamma’ has signed for the Maldivian Democratic Party, the largest party in the new ruling coalition.
The former actor-comedian handed his membership form over to former president Mohamed Nasheed and MDP chairman Hassan Latheef on Tuesday night.
Muhamma told the press he would contest in an MDP primary to seek the party’s ticket for the March 2019 parliamentary elections.
The MP for the Ihavandhoo constituency in the northernmost Haa Alif atoll was elected on a Jumhooree Party ticket as part of the former ruling coalition. Citing a pledge to work with the government to deliver infrastructure projects, he signed for the Progressive Party of Maldives shortly after the 2014 elections, helping the former ruling party secure a 43-seat majority.
