The vacant post of MDP President has been temporarily handed over to former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.
Solih was appointed as the acting president of the party at the ninth sitting of the fourth session of the Party's National Assembly held in A.A. Ukulhas.
The post of MDP President had become vacant after former President Mohammed Nasheed left the MDP to join The Democrats.
