The party’s National Council approved September 19 as the date for the congress at its 36th meeting of the fourth-term National Council, following a proposal by MDP Chairperson and former President Mohamed Nasheed.
Under the MDP constitution, the party holds its regular congress once every five years, while an extraordinary congress can be convened under specific circumstances with approval from the National Council.
Nasheed, who was elected MDP chairperson on June 12, has previously said the party plans to amend its constitution at the upcoming congress.
The proposed changes are expected to include the process for selecting the MDP’s candidate for the next presidential election, including the party’s primary.
