JP says it is not contesting all seats in parliament

Jumhooree Party (JP) stated that it has not decided to contest all 87 seats in parliament and that they have only opened the opportunity for members to vie for the seats that they wish.

JP’s spokesperson Ali Solih said a committee will review the applicants and give the party tickets to their candidates for the parliament election before January 25.

Ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) will be fielding candidates for 86 seats and will give the party tickets for 76 constituencies to the winners of the primary election. The candidates for the other 10 constituencies will automatically be given the party tickets since only one candidate applied to contest for the respective seats.

Opposition Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) has given its party tickets to 55 members without holding a primary election.
