The Maldives Reform Movement (Dhivehi: މޯލްޑިވްސް ރިފޯމް މޫވްމެންޓް) is a political party in the Maldives officially founded in November 2019.[1] The Elections Commission authorized the formation on 2 October 2019. The party was conceived by Yumna's father and former president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom[1] after disagreements with Abdulla Yameen about the direction of the Progressive Party of Maldives.
History
MRM is the third political party established by Gayoom, who as of the party's founding was Asia’s longest-serving president by time in office. He established the Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) in 2005 after giving his consent legalizing political parties in Maldives. His disputes with the party leader at the time, Ahmed Thasmeen Ali, led to him leaving and establishing the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) in October 2011. Nonetheless, Maumoon left the PPM in 2018 over a dispute over its leadership with his estranged half-brother, former president Abdulla Yameen.
