Ex-pres Gayoom to electoral watchdog over PPM Congress

Former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom filed concerns at the Elections Commission (EC) on Tuesday about the recent Congress held by ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM).

The former PPM leader sent a letter addressed to EC president Ahmed Shareef. In the letter, Gayoom stated that since there was no reason to hold a congress, it was held in violation of the party charter, and thus the decisions made during the congress were invalid.
