Elections Commission (EC) says the Commission will follow the ruling issued by the Civil Court over the issue of Progressive Party of the Maldives (PPM). The announcement came amid bitter rivalries within the ruling Party, with the Party now effectively split into two factions. EC today said that the Commission will always follow the rule of the law and any directives and rulings issued by Courts.
"There are no exemptions for the PPM issue. Therefore, EC will follow the Civil Court ruling," EC member Ahmed Akram said.
