The appointment of a new president for the Maldives Media Council (MMC) has been postponed after an election held yesterday (July 27) ended in a tie between two candidates competing for the position.
In a statement, the MMC said that a date for a second election would be announced at a later date.
The election was held to appoint a successor to former MMC President Ibrahim Khaleel, who resigned from his post earlier this year.
Local media reported that MMC current Vice President Husham Mohamed and council member Abdulla Shinaan had both received the same number of votes yesterday.
