Minister of Home Affairs Umar Naseer has been elected as the Local Government Authority (LGA) president.
Media reports say that Naseer – who is the cabinet representative in the authority – was elected to the post unanimously by the seven members present at today’s LGA board meeting.
The post was previously filled by the former Defense Minister Colonel (retired) Mohamed Nazim, who has now been dismissed from his posts and is now under arrest, with the police accusing him of plotting a coup and trying to harm senior government officials.
Today’s meeting was the third LGA meeting so far this year.
