EC announces preliminary results of local council elections
27 Jan 2014, 7:10 PM
The Elections Commission (EC) yesterday completed announcing preliminary results of the local council elections that took place on Saturday, January 18.
EC President Fuwad Thowfeek told the press that a second round of voting would be necessary in some races where the last placed candidates received the same number of votes.
“For example, for a five-member council, if the [candidates] in fifth place and sixth place are tied, in such cases we have to go to a second round,” Thowfeek explained.
He added that the EC would announce a date for the second round, though Thowfeek did not reveal the constituencies where a second round would be needed.
