Former President Mohamed Nasheed has revealed that he had met the first Vice President of the present administration Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmed, over the issue of fielding a single candidate for the 2018 Presidential elections.
The tweet posted by the former President confirmed the meeting but failed to reveal additional details on the meeting.
The parties in the Joint Opposition says they are sure of brining a single candidate for the elections later this year to defeat incumbent President Abdullah Yameen Abdul Gayoom. Inter-Party Talks to determine that candidate had already begun.
The Government had maintained that current leaders of the opposition are unable to contest in the elections, given their convictions on various charges.
