He recently had an application to create a party named United Suvadive Party denied by ECM owing to its name being associated with a certain area of the nation.
The Maldives now has 11 political parties registered, the most recent of which is the Maldives National Party. However, only three parties have the requisite membership count to receive funds from the state budget.
