Maldives president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom received a rather unusual but loud welcome from Laamu atoll on Saturday morning when he visited the islands for campaigning.

President Abdulla Yameen reached Laamu Kahdhoo airport on Saturday morning and was welcomed by locals of the atoll; who kept chanting his name.

Vice speaker of Maldives parliament Moosa Manik, a senior in president Yameen's campaign activities, claimed the incumbent president seeking re-election will receive the highest approval from Laamu atoll.

Under president Yameen's administration several infrastructural development projects were carried out at the atoll including the development and improvement of the atoll's causeway.
