Rayyithunge Muthagaddim Party (RMP; English: Peoples' Progressive Party, or Peoples' Progress Party) was the first political party formed in the Maldives.
Despite the government of Mohamed Amin Didi theoretically operating within a democratic system of governance, the party had no official opposition parties from formation to dissolution, and was the only party in the First Republic of the Maldives. This could have been because there was no straightforward approach towards organizing and forming political parties within the political system back then.
