The Maldivian Democratic Party on Sunday announced preliminary results of its leadership election despite several complaints from losing candidate Mohamed Aslam.
In nationwide polls on Friday afternoon, President’s Office Minister Mohamed Shifaz was re-elected as MDP vice president with 13,815 votes against MP Aslam’s 10,840 votes. There were 447 invalid votes.
The veteran lawmaker challenged the results on Sunday and declared that he does not accept the outcome.
“My rights as a candidate were violated at the poll held to elect the leadership of the MDP. I have lodged a complaint highlighting main 11 points and have informed the party that I reject the results,” the MP for Hithadhoo North tweeted.
