The Maldives Development Alliance (Dhivehi: މޯލްޑިވްސް ޑިވެލޮޕްމަންޓް އެލަޔަންސް) is a political party in the Maldives led by Ahmed Shiyam Mohamed.

## History

[edit]

The party was formed in 2012 by Ahmed Shiyam Mohamed. It was officially recognised by the People's Majlis on 21 October 2013, after it had gained three MPs; Ahmed Shiyam Mohamed, Ahmed Moosa and Ahmed Amir.[2] It became part of a coalition with the Progressive Party of Maldives, supporting its candidate, Abdulla Yameen, in the presidential elections.[2]

In the 2014 parliamentary elections it won five seats.[3] It was reduced to two seats in the 2019 parliamentary elections and remained at two seats following the 2024 parliamentary elections.
