Former Foreign minister, Ahmed Naseem has said that any administration elected after the rejection of UN's conclusions 'will not be legitimate'.
In response to a statement released by the current Foreign Ministry rejecting UN Human Rights Council's conclusions which asserted Maldivian government to allow former President Nasheed to run in the upcoming election, Naseem argued that any subsequent election conducted while President Nasheed remains disqualied will be invalid.
After the UN human rights committee decision,If Prez Nasheed remains disqualified from 2018 elections then any subsequent Prez elections must be immediately rejected as invalid and any gov formed should be considered illegal by the world community.

Naseem adeded that any government elected through such an election 'shuold be considered illegal' by the international community.
UN's Human Rights Council concluded terrorism allegation against President Nasheed as baseless and urged the current government to allow Nasheed to run as a candidate in the presidential election this year.
