For the second time this month Elections Commission has fined Jumhooree Party (JP) over fraudulent membership applications.
According to the commission, the JP used one person’s finger print on multiple party application forms – the fifth time the party has been caught doing this.
The JP have now been asked to pay a fine of MVR9,000 as per Article 48 (a) of the Political Parties Act.
The party was fined with MVR8,000 earlier this month for the same reason.
Along with the JP, the Progressive Party of Maldives was also fined MVR7,000 for submitting party application in contravention of the Political Parties Act for a third time.
