The main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has announced nationwide protests on Thursday against President Mohamed Muizzu's administration's disregard of laws and regulations.
The resolution was proposed by the MDP Secretariat during a National Council meeting held tonight. The motion highlights three key grievances against the government.
These include the nationwide suspension of development projects, the dismissal of numerous employees from their jobs for political reasons, and the pursuit of politically motivated charges against various individuals.
In addition to the protests scheduled for Thursday, the MDP National Council passed a resolution to work with island councils to take over and complete stalled development projects so that essential services can be provided to citizens.
Furthermore, the party resolved tonight to establish a mechanism to provide legal aid and other forms of support to those dismissed from their jobs or facing politically motivated prosecution.
Tonight’s National Council session marks the first such meeting held since former President Mohamed Nasheed assumed the role of MDP Chairperson.
