Maldives People’s National Congress political developments

Overview

Political tensions emerged within the Maldives as leaders of the People’s National Congress (PNC) pressured former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom to support President Mohamed Muizzu’s administration. PNC officials dismissed Yameen’s calls for a ‘silent revolution’ within Parliament, asserting that the party remains unified behind the current government. Party leaders suggested that Yameen’s interests would be better served by supporting the administration through the 2028 election rather than risking imprisonment.

Following these internal political pressures, the PNC held its national congress in Malé. President Muizzu, the party president, inaugurated the event to address administrative matters, including the election of the party’s Higher Council and vice presidents. During the congress, Muizzu emphasized a party philosophy centered on stability, development, and security, calling for unity to strengthen the party’s role in nation-building.
