In response to a case submitted to the High Court by a candidate alleging irregularities in Noonu Atoll Miladhoo’s council election, the superior court has ruled that there is no reason why the election needs to be annulled.
Accepting that there were problems in the first election held on January 18, the Elections Commission held a revote in Miladhoo on February 15.
Ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) candidate Mohamed Ali from Bahaaruge of Miladhoo island then filed a case in the High Court asking for the revote to be annulled too.
The High Court maintains that there are no issues with the second vote which call for an annulment.
