President Waheed invites presidential candidates to discuss election issues
05 Nov 2013, 6:04 PM
President Dr Mohamed Waheed has invited the three presidential candidates for a meeting at the President’s Office to “discuss important issues regarding the presidential election.”
All three candidates have reportedly accepted the invitation for the meeting due to take place at 11:30am on Wednesday (November 6).
The President’s Office has informed local media that discussions will focus on “a political solution” for interim arrangements in the absence of a president-elect at the end of the current presidential term on November 11.
Last month, parliament approved a proposal by the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) for the Speaker of Parliament to assume the presidency if there is no president-elect by midnight on November 10.
