The Maldives National Party (Dhivehi: މޯލްޑިވްސް ނޭޝަނަލް ޕާޓީ, MNP), is a political party in Maldives with a total membership of 10,000 as of 24 November 2021.[2]

MNP was invited by the ruling Maldivian Democratic Party in October 2021 to join them in government.[3]

The Maldives National Party declared itself an opposition party to the ruling MDP coalition and has announced that they will be contesting in the 2023 Maldivian presidential election.[4]

On 26 December 2021 MNP presented its member Abdul Hannan Idrees with the primary ticket to contest for the vacant Komandoo constituency by-election.[5]

Platform

During his 2023 presidential candidacy, Nazim pledged to build more guest homes in Ihavandhoo, to establish a modern ice plant there, and to abolish clemency and commutating sentences for sex crimes.[6][7]
