Drug Court Judge Mohamed Easa Fulhu has been elected to represent the lower courts on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
In an election that took place yesterday with four judges standing for the seat, Easa came first with 84 votes. His closest contender, Drug Court Judge Zubair Mohamed, received 63 votes.
The third and fourth-placed judges, Civil Court Judge Ali Naseer and Chief Magistrate of Faafu Magoodhoo Magistrate Court Abdul Sattar Sulaiman, received 12 and seven votes.
Earlier this month, the Attorney General’s Office postponed an election for a lawyer to represent the legal community on the JSC following a Supreme Court order.
