Speaking at the inauguration of a new Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) hub in Maafannu ward of Male, Solih stated that he had inspected the living conditions of the people of Male during his door-to-door campaign, and found that many people lived in destitute conditions.

Solih criticised the current administration's effort to provide social housing for Male citizens, calling it a failed policy that had ultimately provided housing to not those that needed it.
