Parliamentarians representing the six constituencies are now filling senior government positions
The Elections Commission of the Maldives has said that by-elections for six parliamentary seats recently made vacant, will not be held.
The commission revealed this in a tweet on Thursday.
Constituencies now vacant are Hinnavaru, Kaashidhoo, north-Henveiru, north-Mahchangoalhi, south-Galolhu, and Laamu atoll’s Gan.
Parliamentarians representing said constituencies had resigned from their seats in the People’s Majlis before being appointed to various positions in Maldives’ newly formed government.
The tenure of current sitting parliamentarians, who were elected in 2014, will expire next year.
