EU and UN ‘not interested’ in observing Maldives election

The EU was invited to observe polling, EC chief Ahmed Shareef told the press, but officials informed him in writing in mid-August that “they do not have interest in observing the presidential election.”

“So we expect there won’t be any kind of representative from the EU and UN during this election,” he said.

Shareef said the UN was also invited but the EC was told that they do not usually observe elections.
