The Supreme Court has given permission to resort tycoon Gasim Ibrahim’s Jumhooree Party (JP) to file a case requesting the court annul the first round of the presidential election, after the JP alleged irregularities in voting after placing third and narrowly missing the run-off.
The JP has also reportedly requested an injunction to delay the second round of voting, currently scheduled for September 28.
An official from the Supreme Court was quoted in local media confirming that the seven-member judges’ bench of the Supreme Court had decided to grant permission for the case to be filed and had informed the petitioners.
The official also told the local media that the court would schedule the hearings as soon as the original lawsuit was filed in the court.
