Main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has released a manifesto in which many pledges were made to the youth. Ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) has also vowed to focus on the youth if elected for a second term.
Similar to previous times, the youth consist of a large portion of eligible voters for September’s presidential election.
