The party's Chairperson Ibrahim Waheed said a total of 81 of MDP members inclusive of senior officials and presidents of various committees are attending the meeting.
Ibrahim added added that discussions were carried out to improve the party's activities and operations.
This is the first national congress of MDP since its presidential election defeat in September.
Outgoing president Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, who is out of country, was not in the meeting's attendance.
Parliament's current speaker Mohamed Aslam took part in the congress.
