Gaumee Ithihaad Party officially dissolved

Elections Commission has dissolved Gaumee Ithihaad Party, founded by former president Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik.

The party was officially dissolved on Tuesday, 5 August, after it had completed all necessary steps for dissolution, said the Elections Commission.

The decision to dissolve the party was made by its governing council in late December last year after stating that the political atmosphere in Maldives did not allow small parties to maneuver.

Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik and other leaders of Gaumee Ithihaad Party have since joined the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM).
