MP Abdulla Shahid has questioned the circumstances under which Mohamed Shareef, a known supporter of the government, was appointed to the Elections Commission.
Shahid expressed his sentiments over the matter through a post on his Twitter account, musing on its potential impact on the upcoming presidential elections.
Shareef was appointed as the head of the Elections Commission through a vote on Tuesday, with 33 votes in favour.
Pro-government MP Nazim Rashad had defied the ruling party’s whip-line and was the sole member to vote against Shareef.
