Usfasgandu has once again been handed back to the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) by Male’ City Council.
Speaking to local media on Sunday (March 24), Male’ City Council Mayor ‘Maizan’ Ali Manik said that the area was handed back to the MDP after they requested back the land.
“Usfasgandu is a place where a large number of Maldivians gather to voice their opinions, and MDP requested for the area in accordance with existing policies.
“MDP has said that the area will be used by the people to express their opinions, rather than by the party to advocate its ideology,” Manik was quoted as saying in SunOnline.
Mayor Manik claimed that as no other party had requested Usfasgandu other than the MDP, it was handed back to the party.
