The first congress of the Maldives National Party (MNP) will be held this month.

The congress will be held on September 23 and 24 at Thaajuddeen School.

The MNP congress will amend the party's constitution, determine party policies and elect people to the positions under the new constitution.

The congress will be attended by members of the party's national executive council, parliamentary group members, constituency presidents, vice-presidents and branch presidents from different parts of the country. Members of the MNP's women's development committees are also scheduled to participate.

"The future of MNP will be shaped by the decisions taken by the participants of this national assembly. The national assembly will end with the party's national executive council agreeing on the party's main policies," the statement said.

Former Defense Minister and Dhangethi MP Mohamed Nazim, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison during the rule of former President Abdulla Yameen, formed MNP last year.

Nazim attests that If he wins MNP's presidential primary, he will contest in the presidential election next year. The date of the party's presidential primary will also be decided during the congress.
