The People’s Majlis has appointed President Abdulla Yameen’s legal affairs secretary to the vacant post of prosecutor general.
Some 66 MPs voted yes to Aishath Bisham.
Bisham was the only applicant for the position, which was made vacant after former Prosecutor General Muhuthaz Muhsin was removed in a sudden no-confidence vote on November 13.
Bisham was vetted in a closed-door meeting, but an MP present at the meeting said none of the MPs from ruling Progressive Party of the Maldives presented questions.
