The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) National Council has adopted a resolution opposing the Rasmale project, marking a deepening internal divide.
The vote occurred despite former President Mohamed Nasheed having expressed full support for the development. Reports on 7 November noted that Nasheed had warned the party was drifting toward a political identity he no longer recognises.
The resolution signals a more confrontational stance by sections of the MDP toward the government’s partnership with Eagle Hills. Critics within the party and outside it have raised concerns about transparency and the terms of foreign involvement.
The development has become a central point of political contention, with implications for legislative battles and potential public protests in the coming period.
