There is a process for removing MPs. The Speaker calls the MP to leave 3 times, & @MNDF_Official removes them. @Abdulla_Shahid did it numerous times. But this was a mob brawl, unworthy of our legislature. It is shaming, and we deserve better. @mvpeoplesmajlis should do better.

Tomorrow, New Zealanders vote. My first cousin, Dr Ayesha Verrall, is contesting Wellington North in a tight race with the Green candidate. She’s Labour’s Health spokesperson, fighting for affordable health care. Labour will also recognise Palestine and support South Africa’s ICJ case on alleged breaches of the Genocide Convention. @drayeshaverrall

Malé City Council, in collaboration with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), conducted a Capacity-Building Workshop on Decongestion and Disaster Resilience.
The workshop focused on practical strategies to address urban congestion, improve mobility and strengthen Malé’s preparedness and resilience to disasters.
I extend my sincere appreciation to UN ESCAP for its continued partnership, technical support and commitment to advancing sustainable and resilient cities. We look forward to further strengthening this collaboration for the benefit of Malé and its people. @UNESCAP

I know my father's character, his values and the kind of man he is. I know he would never do what he's being accused of, and I stand by him completely.
He has already condemned these allegations as a politically motivated attempt to destroy his reputation. Seeing him arrested today has been heartbreaking, and the way this has unfolded raises serious questions.
He deserves fairness, due process and every opportunity to defend himself.
Our family stands firmly by him. We will not waver.

The two parties have their differences, but the patterns are familiar: ultranationalism, religious politics, similar foreign policy leanings & attempts to control the media. What they condemn in opposition, they often justify when in power. Different strategies, same instincts.

We must not blame any nation for our internal political mess. If you remember the famous India out! What was the embarrassing outcome? Other
Nations and foreign parties can not intrude our internal affairs unless our governments allow them to do. We have a high salaried and privileged parliament elected by the people as their representatives to check and balance such issues. When they failed to take their constitutional responsibilities let’s not blame others for that. We must make our representatives accountable. If public fail to do so means we let our state to fail.

Experience in the Maldives has shown us clearly that dragging friendly countries and our old development partners into our domestic political matters is not in the national interest. Our relations with them must be kept above partisan politics.
As opposition, our fight should be with the government.
What we oppose are the current government's non-transparent policies, its underhand and shady dealings, and policies which harm national interest. We oppose the corruption in the government, frequent U-turns in policies and broken promises made to the people.
We will continue to hold the government accountable on these issues, in the interest of the nation, without compromising our long-standing friendships with other countries.

The recent trajectory of the MDP is cause for serious concern. We once championed openness, pluralism, and democratic reform. Now we appear increasingly willing to embrace xenophobic and ultra nationalistic rhetoric. This is a departure from the founding ideals that defined the MDP’s political identity and inspired many of its earliest supporters.
A growing number within the party seem convinced that electoral success depends on manufacturing populist outrage and mobilising public sentiment through fear and division. Yet this strategy risks undermining the very constituency that has historically sustained the MDP. Voters who are multicultural, liberal, and open minded. Alienating this core base in pursuit of short term political gains is not only misguided but strategically self defeating.
It is worth recalling the campaign built around the slogan Birakaa Nulaa Majaa Kurun. Far from diminishing support, that message broadened the party’s appeal, attracting an estimated twenty thousand additional votes without significantly repelling others. By contrast, invoking religion as a political tool and promoting unfounded narratives, such as the claim that “Zionists are taking over the country”, does nothing to strengthen the party’s credibility. Such rhetoric is not only baseless; it corrodes public discourse and diminishes the seriousness of national politics.
The MDP stands at a crossroads. If it continues down this path, it risks eroding its identity and forfeiting the values that once distinguished it. It is my hope that principled members will intervene to prevent the party from embracing a self destructive course. May Allah grant us the wisdom and strength to uphold integrity in our politics.

India is our closest neighbour and a longstanding friend that has stood by the Maldives in times of need, from the events of 3 November 1988 to the Malé water crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, including the provision of vaccines.
The Thilamalé Bridge, one of the largest infrastructure projects supported by Indian financing, was initiated under the second MDP administration, led by His Excellency President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. This landmark project has the potential to transform the Maldivian economy, improve connectivity, and reshape the geographical landscape of the Greater Malé region.
We are pleased to see the progress made on the Thilamalé Bridge project and the high standards of workmanship demonstrated by the Indian contractor undertaking its construction. The progress achieved reflects the importance of this landmark project and the continued cooperation between our two nations.
The Maldives and India share a relationship built on mutual respect, trust, and longstanding cooperation. We remain firmly committed to supporting India’s Neighbourhood First policy and strengthening the enduring friendship between our two nations.

When you order political reform from AliExpress and it arrives with Leninist party loyalty and Article 1 of the PRC Constitution pre-installed.
What the Maldives needs is a commoners’ dictatorship.
In Marxist-Leninist theory, “dictatorship” refers to which class holds state power.
For far too long, political power in the Maldives has served the political elite. Even those who enter politics promising change often end up aspiring to become part of that same elite.
Perhaps it is time for people to truly understand what a commoners’ dictatorship means and aspire to build a culture in which power belongs to ordinary citizens instead.
One country that has constitutionally adopted the concept of a “people's democratic dictatorship” is China.
Below is Article 1 of their Constitution.

Eema is the most wonderful coworker I have ever had. She is brilliant at her job. I have never seen anyone put in as much blood, sweat and tears as she does. Her determination and her drive are irreplaceable 1/3

I have decided to run for President of the MDP Youth Wing in the upcoming MDP National Council elections 2026.
I believe our Youth Wing should represent every city and island, giving all young members equal opportunities to participate, contribute, and have their voices heard.
As we stand in opposition, I will work to hold the current PNC government accountable, speak up for the concerns of our youth, and do my best to help bring MDP back to government in 2028.
I believe in hard work, dedication, and bringing people together. I humbly ask for your support and your vote as we work towards a stronger, more united Youth Wing.
