The Adhaalath Party has formally decided to join President Dr Mohamed Muizzu’s government for the remainder of his current term and form an electoral alliance with the ruling People’s National Congress (PNC) for the 2028 presidential election.
The decision was approved by the party’s Consultative Council in a resolution issued on Saturday, 14 November 2026, following an official invitation from President Muizzu, who also leads the PNC.
Under the resolution, Adhaalath Party will support President Muizzu as the PNC’s presidential candidate in 2028, marking a significant political realignment ahead of the next presidential election.
The party said its decision reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Islamic values, protecting Maldivian sovereignty and independence, promoting political stability and improving the national economy.
The resolution also highlighted President Muizzu’s call for broader political cooperation and national unity, describing collective efforts to safeguard the country’s religious and national interests as essential to its future.
Invoking Article 46.1 of its constitution, the Consultative Council approved three key decisions: joining the government coalition, supporting Muizzu’s re-election bid in 2028 and authorising the party president to negotiate and finalise a formal coalition agreement with the PNC.
The agreement will be formulated under Article 46.3 of the party’s constitution, taking into consideration Adhaalath Party’s political objectives, members’ rights and long-term institutional interests.
The move strengthens President Muizzu’s political alliance as the ruling PNC prepares for the 2028 presidential election, while bringing Adhaalath Party into the governing coalition for the remainder of the current administration.
