Abdulla Yameen concedes defeat in Maldives presidential election

Abdulla Yameen concedes defeat in Maldives presidential election

Maldives’ President Abdulla Yameen has conceded defeat after a surprise election win for the opposition in a poll that was billed as a test for democracy in the troubled island nation.

Speaking in a televised speech today, Yameen said the citizens of the Maldives had their say and that he accepts that result. The 59-year-old, who presided over a five-year crackdown on dissent, said he met with president-elect Ibrahim Mohamed Solih at the president’s office shortly before his speech.

The remarks came hours after the National Elections Commission confirmed a decisive victory for Solih, a long time member of parliament, who is representing a coalition of four parties, whose leaders are either in jail or exile.

Yameen, who ran on a platform of defending Maldives’ Islamic faith and boosting the economy, said he will stay on in the presidency until his term ends on November 17.
