Rayyithunge Muthagaddim Party (English: Peoples' Progressive Party, or Peoples' Progress Party) was the first ever political party formed in the Maldives.^[1]

Despite Mohamed Amin Didi's government theoretically operating within a democratic system of governance, the party had no opposition parties from formation to dissolution. This could have been due to the fact that there was no straightforward approach towards organizing and forming political parties within the political system back then.
