High Court orders revote for Kon’dey island council
22 Feb 2014, 4:57 PM
The High Court on Thursday annulled the results of the poll conducted on January 18 for the island council of Gaaf Alif Kon’dey and ordered the Elections Commission (EC) to hold a revote.
The court ruled (Dhivehi) in favour of the complainant, Ali Ibrahim, who requested annulment after an 84-year-old man from Kon’dey was found to have cast his vote in the wrong ballot box.
Moosa Easa accidentally voted in the box designated for the neighbouring Dhandhoo’s island council.
While five candidates contested for the island council, the margin between the sixth and the fifth placed candidates was a single vote.
