People's National Congress (Maldives)

The People's National Congress, abbreviated as PNC, is a political party in the Maldives founded in January 2019 and the current governing party. It is one of the two major political parties in the Maldives, with the other being the Maldivian Democratic Party. The party's formation was spearheaded by former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom, who had been in a dispute with the leadership of the Progressive Party of Maldives.
The PNC was founded with support from Yameen by Fonadhoo MP Abdul Raheem Abdulla, and was also joined by Nilandhoo MP Abdulla Khaleel. They took the positions of president and vice president of the party, respectively, shortly after.
