The Maldives Media Council (MMC) members have appointed Abdulla Muaz as their new president.
The former president of the council, Husham Mohamed, resigned on 9 February after saying that the council did not have adequate legal authority.
The MMC website stated that Muaz received six votes from the council while the one of the other two candidates got five votes.
In July 18, 2012 MPs voted 53-1 against a recommendation by the Finance Committee to dissolve the MMC and transfer its mandate to the Maldives Broadcasting Commission.
