The Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (Dhivehi: ދިވެހި ރައްޔިތުންގެ ޕާޓީ, lit. 'Maldivian People's Party', DRP) was a political party of the Maldives. On 2 June 2005, the nation's 50-member parliament voted unanimously to allow and operate political parties in Maldives. DRP subsequently submitted its registration on 21 July 2005 and was the second registered political party in the Republic of Maldives.
In early 2023, the Elections Commission (EC) issued a decision to dissolve the DRP, as the party failed to maintain a minimum of 3,000 members as mandated by law.[2]
