Ziyad back in MDP, EC to take action against perpetrators

Vaikaradhoo MP and opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) member Hussain Ziyad's forged party membership form switching him to ruling People's National Congress was processed due to an error in the alert system, said the Elections Commission today.

Speaking to Mihaaru, MP Ziyad, who also serves as the Deputy Parliamentary Group Leader of MDP, said the discovery was made when they looked further into multiple reports of party switches in Vaikaradhoo, without the individuals' knowledge.
