The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP)’s Gaumee Majilis (National Council) has passed a resolution to investigate an alleged ‘manipulation’ of its constitution on Tuesday.
In the National Council meeting held on Tuesday, the report of the committee formed within the party to investigate the matter was presented to the meeting by the chair of the committee Mohamed Waheed, who was also the former Minister of State for Health and Family during Nasheed’s administration.
Presenting his report to the council, Waheed stated that the committee found that the constitution had been manipulated as it differed from the original version of the party constitution that had been passed in the Party’s last congress, held on October 2010.
According to Waheed, there were two significant changes brought to the party constitution, both to the advantage of the two senior positions of the party – President and Vice President.
