Maldives Parliament approved a constitutional amendment removing atoll councils, with 75 of 87 participating MPs voting in favour, as Jumhooree Party Leader Qasim Ibrahim praised the PNC-initiated reform and called for swift presidential ratification. Qasim argued atoll councils add an unnecessary administrative layer since the 2011 decentralization rollout and the 2023 creation of the Ministry of Cities, Local Government and Public Works.
