"Roolhaalaanan, Roolhaalaanan, Roolhaalaanan" a call to action for MDP members to leave the party and join the Democrats. It can also be seen as a challenge to the current leadership of the MDP.

Former President Mohamed Nasheed, in a fiery speech, announced his decision to join the newly formed Democrats party and vowed to "break the MDP". Democrats was formally registered as a political party by the Elections Commission during last week with the submission of 3000 member forms filled by the party.

The Democrats' formation has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have welcomed the party's arrival, while others have accused Nasheed of dividing the Maldivian political landscape. It remains to be seen whether the Democrats will be able to gain a significant following in the Maldives, but the party's formation has certainly shaken up the political scene.
