The Maldives Reform Movement led by former president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom was handed its official certificate of registration on Monday.
Elections Commission chief Ahmed Shareef handed the document to MRM executive committee member Dr Ibrahim Hassan at a ceremony on Monday morning.
Gayoom was elected MRM’s interim president earlier this month. At the closing ceremony of its inaugural congress on Saturday night, the former president said the party will reserve 25 percent of posts for youth under 30 years of age and seek to promote gender equality. The MRM is part of the four-party ruling coalition led by President Solih’s Maldivian Democratic Party.
