Leader of Jumhooree Party (JP), Qasim Ibrahim has said that JP members can choose to support any of the candidates contesting in the second round of the presidential election to be held on September 30, even though the party had collectively decided on Sunday that they will not back either of the candidates.
A tweet published by Qasim who received 5,460 votes in the first round of the presidential election said that he believed that the decision of JP not to support any candidate could violate the individual rights of party members.
