A rumoured alliance between the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) and the People’s Alliance (PA) will “operate in secrecy”, daily newspaper Miadhu has reported.
The newspaper quoted a “reliable source” that both sides would deny reports on the coalition agreement, in which the PA would assist the MDP in gaining a parliamentary majority for passing bills the government considers critical.
The first of these is expected to be Majlis approval of the President’s choice of economic minister.
A public coalition agreement would likely anger hardliners in either party, and risk alienating the PA’s current coalition partner, the opposition DRP.
Head of the PA Abdulla Yameen has already announced he will seek presidency in 2013.
