No re-votes as High Court concludes Majlis election-related cases
23 Apr 2014, 3:27 PM
The High Court has delivered verdicts today in 13 election-related cases filed by losing candidates in the March 22 parliamentary polls seeking annulment of the results.
In 12 cases, the High Court ruled that there were no grounds to annul the results and order a re-vote as the evidence submitted was not sufficient to prove electoral fraud.
In the case concerning the Lhaviyani Kurendhoo constituency, the court ruled that there were no grounds to grant the request for a recount of ballot boxes.
Losing candidates from both opposition and government-aligned parties had challenged the outcome of the Majlis elections.
