According to the EC, the membership form was submitted on behalf of a dead person in violation of article eight of the Political Parties Act.

The PPM has been asked to pay the fine in 15 days.

In June 2013, the Anti-Corruption Commission discovered that two membership forms submitted by former President Dr Mohamed Waheed’s now-defunct Gaumee Ihthihaad Party “were signed by persons who had passed away prior to the forms being sent to the EC.”
