Why is @ElectionsMv results website tracking users who view the results? 🤔 Someone should send an RTI to get details of the data collected via the UniqueID

2/ It's true that the current system has resulted in super majorities in Majlis to the ruling parties. And it's also true that less elections will result in less effort from the government to win over the electorate and less opportunities to hold the government accountable.

Congratulations to the people of Maldives! You have spoken loud and clear. You have said a clear no to the constitutional reform to have presidential and parliament elections on the same day. Congratulations to all those who won the mayoral, Council and WDC elections tonight!

Merging all ballots into a single Election Day doesn’t simplify democracy, it creates confusion. Today was evidence enough. Some things are better kept separate.

@raftalks That i agree with. I dont agree with spending every other year on campaigning for an election. I want productivity in this country and whoever wins has no time to bring productivity because they’re so worried about winning the next election too. System cycle is flawed

@Dhonbanduraa I can understand... but real issue isn’t how many times we vote. it’s how efficient, transparent, and low disruption the process is. If elections are run well, they shouldn’t feel like a burden on daily life.

31.5% of MTCC is currently owned by the public. These shareholders must immediately submit complaints to the Board of MTCC, as well as to CDMA and PCB to request to look into the matter because there is a serious suspicion of violation of ethical standards and financial controls within the company, subsequently violating CMDA Code and PCB regulations.

A lot of people are talking about the “Malé Taxi” name right now. I want to share our side of the story not as a complaint, but because 10 years of hard work deserves to be heard. In 2015, we registered the business name “Malé Taxi” under Taviyani Pvt Ltd (Registration No. BN-0929/2015). That same year, we launched Kobaa Taxi, an online taxi booking service. We purchased 150 Samsung tablets from Thailand, along with MiFi devices and SIM cards from Dhiraagu, all with our own money, and distributed them to drivers ourselves. There was no funding, no backing just our own effort to build something new for Malé. In 2016, we submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Economic Development for motorcycle taxi services (RFP Ref: (IUL)101-AF/2016/77). We demonstrated the concept, but our proposal was not selected. We were then advised to apply through a new regulation, and we followed every process as required. In 2017, the ministry opened an Expression of Interest for Premium Taxi Services in Malé and Hulhumalé (Ref: (IUL)101-AF/1/2017/31, dated 1 February 2017). We submitted a detailed proposal featuring electric and hybrid vehicles, app-based booking, Maldivian drivers in uniform, cashless rides, and a phased rollout plan. We even beat MTCC on price. In the end, the project was cancelled. At that time, very few people in the Maldives believed an app-based taxi service could work so in 2017, we stopped. But we did not give up. In February 2019, we rebranded and launched Avas Ride. We started again from zero with no outside rescue. Just our own money, our own belief, and our determination to keep going. Today 7 years later Avas Ride has more than 160,000 customers and 3,000+ drivers. In 2025 alone, we completed 2.9 million rides. As a white-label platform, we faced limitations in customizing the product for the Maldivian market including constraints around integrations such as BML payment gateway ,implementation of safety features. Despite these challenges, we continued to grow and validate the model locally. In 2023, we made a major decision: to build our own platform from scratch. We began developing Avas App with a fully Maldivian team 8 developers, a CTO, a UI designer, and a product manager. We successfully launched it with a grand event, marking a new chapter for locally built technology. Today, we are preparing for an international white-label launch in Q3 this year. We proved that this model works not with government money, but with persistence, resilience, and belief in what we are building. Then, on 2 April 2026, MTCC launched “Malé Taxi Line”: electric vehicles, app-based booking, Malé and Hulhumalé coverage, and uniformed drivers. It is almost identical to what we proposed in 2017 and it uses the name we registered in 2015. We sent a formal notice regarding name infringement to MTCC on 28 March 2026. They launched anyway. There was no response, no negotiation, and no acknowledgment. Let us be clear we are not against better public transport. In fact, we have spent the last decade trying to build exactly that. But if a legally registered business name can be used by a state-owned company without even a conversation, then what message does that send entrepreneurs in Maldives.
