This was disclosed in a letter Qasim sent to the party's Secretary General Ali Arif.
In his letter, Qasim noted that no one has submitted application to run on the party ticket before the end of the announced period, despite the fact that there are many candidates in the party who are qualified to run for president.
He went onto say that he made the decision to run for Presidency in 2023 on behalf of the party.
Jumhooree Party is a partner of the current coalition administration.
Qasim has made the announcement to run for President, while President Ibrahim Mohammed Solih has invited the coalition partners to form a unity agreement for the upcoming 2023 Presidential Election.
The government has said that that JP's decision to run for Presidency separately will not pose as a challenge to President Ibrahim Mohammed Solih's position.
