Former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed congratulated the ruling Progressive National Congress (PNC) following their success in yesterday's parliamentary elections.

On X today, President Nasheed commended the PNC for their significant win, extending his best wishes to party members and President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu for their achievement.

Despite refraining from contesting in the election, President Nasheed's party, the Democrats, faced disappointment as they failed to secure any seats in the parliamentary polls.

President Nasheed's relationship with the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), which he previously led, has experienced strains in recent years. Throughout the parliamentary election campaign, Nasheed didn't hesitate to launch verbal critiques against the MDP, urging voters to consider alternatives beyond the party.
