The main opposition Progressive Party of Maldives has announced 42 candidates for the parliamentary elections in March.
The PPM ticket was awarded to 24 lawmakers and 18 loyalists of former president Abdulla Yameen without a primary contest last week.
In his first public appearance since leaving office, Yameen announced the awarding of tickets to 24 PPM MPs at an event Monday night.
The former ruling party’s parliamentary group was previously comprised of more than 40 MPs but several have joined the Jumhooree Party since the opposition coalition won September’s presidential election.
