President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih walked door to door in Male' on Wednesday for his re-election campaign.
The door-to-door campaigning was conducted in the Galolhu Dhekunu constituency.
Speaking to the media after the activity, President Solih said he was hopeful about the response from voters.
"I've gotten a lot of hope from the houses I've visited in Galolhu Dhekunu," he said, adding that the aim was to revive the passion of the 2018 campaign.
"We're working to reach where we got in 2018. I can see that happening."
The constituency's MP Meekail Naseem as well as other MPs and ministers took part in the door-to-door campaigning. Similar to 2018, the biggest issue raised in most households was the housing crisis in the Male' region, but the public was now hopeful that the problem could be resolved, the president said.
"They were in doubt before. 'We will give flats, we will give land plots.' So there was doubt. But the homes we visited today have now got certainty," President Solih said.
He added that the people he met had only one question and that was whether land plots would truly be awarded.
"Despite making the announcement, there is still that doubt. But I assured them that we will hand over plots to the people on the list unless there's a very serious problem with it," President Solih said.
With less than two months for the presidential election, the Jumhooree Party and opposition Progressive Congress Coalition have also started door-to-door campaigning.
The newly-formed Democrats are also campaigning after announcing that the party would field a candidate. But the party has yet to decide on a candidate.
President Solih officially launched his campaign last Sunday in Shaviyani Foakaidhoo.
