Independent candidate Nazim to support PPM candidate Leeza in Parliamentary Election

Independent candidate for Medhu-Henveyru, former President of Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) Youth Wing Ibrahim Nazim has decided to support PPM candidate for Medhu-Henveyru Aishath Leeza at the upcoming Parliamentary Election.

Speaking at a press conference today, Nazim urged his supporters to vote for Leeza.

“You should vote not for me, candidate number 5; but for Leeza, candidate number 2,” he said.

He said that he made this decision to avoid PPM’s votes for Medhu-Henveyru being divided, which could result in the seat being won by opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP).

Speaking at the press conference, Leeza said that she was confident that she would win the seat with Nazim’s support.

“My competition isn’t the opposition candidate, my competition is Nazim; and Nazim has decided to support me,” she said.

Other candidates for Medhu-Henveyru are MDP’s Ali Azim, and independent candidates Ahmed Shameem, Abdul Gafoor Ali, and Abdulla Zihan.
