The parliament approved amendments to Article 231 of the Constitution of Maldives in the early hours of Tuesday, thus extending the length of terms for incumbent local councils.
The bill was lobbied by the government last month, as the Local Council Elections originally slated for April 14 were postponed indefinitely due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis. The terms of the presently elected councils will expire on June 3, Wednesday.
