President-elect Ibrahim Mohamed Solih will be travelling to Sri Lanka to accompany former President Mohamed Nasheed on his return to Maldives on Thursday.
Mariya Ahmed Didi, the president-elect’s spokesperson, said Solih will head to the neighboring country on Wednesday.
Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has prepared a huge welcoming event for its leader Nasheed for Thursday.
The Supreme Court has also ordered a suspension of Nasheed’s sentence after it began reviewing his conviction on the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
Nasheed was sentenced in March 2015 after being found guilty of ordering the arrest of a judge during his presidency and has been living in self-exile since receiving political asylum from the United Kingdom during a medical trip in January 2016.
