The opposition is seeking probes into the misuse of state resources.

The opposition is up in arms over a video of First Lady Fathmath Ibrahim saying that voter registration forms from civil servants and state-owned company staff are sent to the ruling party.
The video of the first lady and President Abdulla Yameen at a campaign office was uploaded live by a Progressive Party of Maldives social media account. It has since been removed.
“[Forms from] civil service and companies will come tonight…They will be registered,” she is heard saying in the video. “It is now being entered.”
The video was later uploaded by opposition MP Ahmed Mahloof, prompting allegations of fraud and concerns over the fairness of the September 23 polls.
