The Dhivehi Qaumee Party (dv|ދިވެހި ޤައުމީ ޕާޓީ) was a political party in the Maldives. It was registered with the Election Commission on 5 September 2008[1] and was dissolved in 2013.
The party's 2008 presidential candidate was Dr. Hassan Saeed and his running mate was Dr. Ahmed Shaheed.[2] Dr. Hassan was the former Attorney General during Maumoon Abdul Gayoom's term.[3] Shaheed was Foreign Minister during Maumoon's term and was also Foreign Minister in Nasheed's cabinet.[4]
In 2012, the party released a pamphlet criticizing Mohamed Nasheed's government and accused him of undermining the religion of the Maldives and introducing other religions.[5]
In 2013, the party joined a coalition of the Gaumee Itthihaad party and the Adhaalath Party, but later on it quit the coalition after accusing then-President Mohamed Waheed of not working with coalition partners.[6] [7] Later on, the party became coalition partners with the Jumhooree Party and Hassan Saeed ran as the running mate of Qasim Ibrahim in the 2013 Maldivian presidential election.[8]
