Former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom was awarded the SunFM ‘Personality of the Year’ at a ceremony on Wednesday night.
Gayoom received 44 per cent of the SMS vote, with his former deputy Ahmed Thasmeen Ali coming second with 31 percent.
In other categories, business magnate Champa Hussein Afeef was voted the business personality of the year, actress Mariyam Afeefa the female entertainment personality and singer Muhthar Adam the male entertainment personality of the year.
While the sports awards went to volleyball players Aishath Nazima and Ibrahim Nizar, Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) MPs Ahmed Mahlouf and Ali Waheed were chosen as the most popular MPs.
The awards were handed out by SunFM owner and MP Ahmed “SunTravel” Shiyam Mohamed. Shiyam was also a deputy leader of the DRP before he resigned in the wake of Gayoom’s presidential election loss.
