Maldives’ former exiled leader Mohamed Nasheed, 51, leads his party to a landslide victory in Saturday’s parliamentary elections
In this file photo taken on November 1, 2018 former president of the Maldives Mohamed Nasheed waves as he addresses the country after returning from exile to the Maldives, in Male.
Nasheed returned to the country after his former deputy President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih won an unexpected victory in September presidential elections for the MDP. Yameen had barred Nasheed from contesting. Nasheed, now set to take over the leadership of the legislature, has promised to turn the country into a parliamentary democracy by scrapping the executive presidential system adopted under political reforms in 2008."While we celebrate, we must also not forget the immense challenges that lie ahead of us," he said.
