Although the commission argues that the party cannot be dissolved on legal grounds, Umar Naseer said he would not recognise the decision of the commission.
Recently Umar has signed the largest opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP), and announced he would run for the vice-president.
“According to the political party’s regulation,” he said. “The commission has no right to dissolve a political party. The party would make the decision and present it to the elections commission. The responsibility of the commission is to remove the party’s name from the list and inform to the public. Shortly, I would present this case to the High Court.”
The commission has announced on Thursday that there are legal issues in the appeal proposed by IDP on 15 January to dissolve the party.
In order to protect the rights of the 5,384 members, a statement made by the commission said IDP cannot be dissolved.
IDP was founded on 12 December 2005. The party was voted to dissolve on 15 January by 28 council members. One member voted against the decision.
