Yameen’s PNF opens nominations for key posts

The People’s National Front (PNF), founded by former President Abdulla Yameen, has announced that nominations for permanent party positions are now open.

Applications will be accepted until 18:00 on Thursday. According to the party’s announcement, elections will be held for the posts of president, two vice-presidents, secretary-general, registrar, treasurer, and 14 senators.

The elections are scheduled to take place during the party’s inaugural national assembly on October 30. Yameen formed the PNF less than a week after the PNC-led coalition came to power, resigning from his leadership role in the coalition and initiating the registration of a new party. The PNF was officially registered on March 25, 2024.

Since its formation, Yameen has been actively involved in party activities, holding regular meetings at the PNF office twice a week. These sessions have included sharp criticism of the current government’s policies and decisions.
