Supreme Court Justice Dr Ahmed Abdulla Didi has been nominated as the Maldives’ new chief justice, with parliament set to vote on the pick Wednesday night.
President Abdulla Yameen also proposed Judges Abdulla Didi and Abdul Ghanee Mohamed as new appointees to the apex court bench in a letter addressed to the People’s Majlis (parliament).
The nominees, who were recommended by the Judicial Service Commission, have been forwarded to a Majlis committee for consideration.
Former chief justice Abdulla Saeed and Supreme Court justice Ali Hameed were removed from their positions last week after losing appeals against their criminal convictions.
