President Muizzu’s Cabinet approves public vote on Addu Council changes this month
President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's Cabinet approved a public referendum in Addu City, to be held on one of the weekend days of October 24 or 25, asking residents whether separate councils should be created for Addu Feydhoo, Addu Hulhudhoo and Addu Meedhoo, or whether Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo should form a joint Addu Hulhumeedhoo Council. The Cabinet also mandated a ministerial-level committee led by the Ministry of Home Affairs and a technical team to recommend possible adjustments to Addu City's jurisdictional boundaries based on the vote's outcome.
