A member of the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM), Rahma Moosa, has today lodged a case at the Civil Court challenging the results of the party’s presidential primary.
The Civil Court has confirmed that the case was filed today, adding it was uncertain when a first hearing would be scheduled.
According to local media, Moosa filed a case claiming that 8,915 people who were not officially registered as members of PPM had been allowed to vote in the primary.
She contended that the move contravened the Political Party Act and compromised the rights of all general members of the party.
