Furthermore, the former PNC president, Abdul Raheem Abdullah, has been nominated for the position of PNC chairman.

These appointments were made following unanimous votes by the members present at the meeting.

Prior to the presidential election, Hussain Mohamed Latheef was affiliated with the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM). However, he contested the presidential election under the PNC banner. 

Following his successful election victory, Hussain opted to join the PNC due to the party’s requirement that mandates presidential candidates to be members of the party they represent.
