Former President Mohamed Nasheed is the only candidate running in the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) primary, following the close of submissions yesterday.
The primary, to determine the MDP’s presidential candidate, will still take place according to the party’s rules and regulations, MDP spokesperson Imthiyaz Fahmy told Haveeru.
MDP has sought to hold the primary to determine its candidate ahead of the early elections it is demanding from President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan’s government, which it maintains is illegitimate after Nasheed was ousted is a bloodless coup on February 7.
Nasheed will still require 10 percent of the total ballots in the MDP primaries to be declared the party’s presidential candidate.

Ha ha ha, this is the man who challenged the one man rule days of Qayyoom. Now look whose acting dictatorial. What happened to all other interllectuals and proud politicians in MDP. None of them had the courage to stand against Nasheed coz of fear and cowardness. All chickens in MDP.
Yasir, the imbecile, speaks.
Does Obama have any challengers within the Democratic primary, Yasir? Does that make him a dictator? Especially given that people from other parties are perfectly within their rights to run against him?
