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.
