Fuvahmulah initiating the tour with the launching of the “Dheythin Fahethi” door to door campaign and carrying out a workshop for all the the presidential campaign team. An MDP rally was also held at the Fuvahmulah “Usfasgandu” later that night, which was telecasted nation wide.

Speaking at the national rally held at Addu City, President Nasheed stated that during the next five years, they would work towards eradicating unemployment in Addu City by creating job opportunities thereby doubling the productivity of the city in the five year term. He also mentioned an MDP government would work towards creating 3000 tourist beds in Addu City and strengthening the existing transportation network by creating facilities at the airport to accommodate international flights.
