The ruling Maldivian Democratic Party [MDP] will commence its congress tonight at Dharubaaruge in Hakura Maalam.
Spokesperson for the party Ibrahim Haleem told Minivan News that the congress was scheduled to commence at 9:00pm with a speech by the party’s chairperson and MP Mariya Didi.
After the speech by Mariya, Haleem said the party’s parliamentary group leader MP ‘Reeko’ Moosa Manik will also address to the delegates.
“After that there will be a special reception, and the President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed will also take part in the congress tonight,’’ said Haleem. ‘’It will be biggest and sophisticated congress ever held in the country.’’
Haleem said that Friday afternoon discussion meetings will be held t establish the party’s “woman’s spirit” wing and “youth wing”, mirroring two institutions of the opposition DRP.
“During the meeting we will amend our party’s charter, and delegates will also discuss when to hold the party elections to appoint two new deputy chairpersons,’’ Haleem said. “After the discussion they will announce a date for the elections.”
He said the Chairperson would not change because “the term is five years and it has not expired yet.”
‘’We are expecting more than 1000 representatives, delegates and supporters to take part in the event,’’ he added.
The main opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) held its annual congress in February this year.
During the congress the party elected its leader as MP Ahmed Thasmeen Ali and Umar Naseer, MP Ahmed Ilham, MP Ali Waheed and Ibrahim ‘Mavota’ Shareef as Deputy leaders.

’It will be biggest and sophisticated congress ever held in the country.’’..kekeke how could u say that ..???...we had more sophisticated/international standard meetings with more educated/sophisticated people than the bunch of mdp crowd(mostly hooligans) ...come to think of Reeko Moosa alone..!!!*puke*
it is difficult to believe but, truth is always true , this is the biggest of its kind in the Maldives. well, Reeko is one of the thousands of victims of the former regimen so he can express his feelings with emotion than someone who has not experienced the pain , by the way Reeko is not a hooligan but he was one of the thousands of victims of the thirty long years of darkness.........no other party have multitalented members like MDP have. thank you 🙂
spendthrifts spending our money for this useless congress...
please note MDP does not call its youth body "the youth wing" because it connotes the hitler youth wing. We call it "the youth resolve"
