Haa Dhaalu atoll MP and former Legal Reform Minister, Mohamed Nasheed, resigned from the main opposition party, Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP), last Sunday.
DRP Secretary General Dr Abdulla Mausoom on Tuesday confirmed that Nasheed had resigned from the Party. Dr Mausoom said that Nasheed did not specify his reason for leaving the Party.
In his personal blog, http://www.mnasheed.com/, Nasheed said that he had not included his reasons for leaving the Party.
He further said in his blog that he had disassociated himself from DRP activities since February this year and that he had won a seat at the Parliament by campaigning as an independent candidate.
“All these months, I have had no political contact with the party,” he said in his blog. “For all political purposes, I have stood by myself in politics and in parliament. Therefore, the decision to leave DRP is not expected to create any surprise or bear any significance. It is for all practical purposes, a foregone conclusion.”
