Qasim's running mate announcement postponed

The presidential candidate of Jumhooree Party (JP), Qasim Ibrahim, said in a meeting on Wednesday evening that due to certain issues he is unable to announce a running mate at the moment. Over the week, rumours were going around that former Attorney General and President of Maldivian Democratic Party, who recently joined JP, had been approved by the party council earlier this week. However, the party maintained that they will make a formal announcement in Wednesdays meeting.  Some sources within the party report that they will announce a running mate in the next few days but are not speculating on the shortlist.
