Maldives Reform Movement alleges obstruction by Elections Commission

Former Maldives President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, who leads the Maldives Reform Movement (MRM), has said that the Elections Commission (EC) is impeding their attempts to nominate a presidential candidate and conduct political activities.

Earlier, the Elections Commission (EC) announced its decision to dissolve the Maldives Reform Movement (MRM), stating that the party failed to meet the minimum required number of members. According to EC regulations, a political party must have a minimum of 3,000 members to be considered eligible.
