The Elections Commission has added two new constituencies in the capital ahead of the March 2019 parliamentary elections.
The mid-Machangoalhi constituency was created in Malé’s central ward and the Hulhu-Henveiru constituency was divided to create separate constituencies for Henveiru West and Hulhumalé, an island suburb of the capital.
Other constituencies and boundaries will remain the same from the 2014 parliamentary elections, EC chief Ahmed Shareef told the press Tuesday.
The constituencies were finalised after considering complaints submitted to a provisional report gazetted last month, he added.
