The deputy election chief has been accused of sexually harassing a junior employee and a police investigation is under way, the Maldives Independent can reveal.
Amjad Musthafa is alleged to have approached the Elections Commission employee several times in a four-month period, offering her a permanent position or marriage, if she met him at work or outside the office.
The young woman, who began working at the EC as a receptionist in May, said she was threatened with dismissal if she refused to meet him or told anyone about their conversations.
Musthafa denies the allegations.
