Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) on Wednesday has boycotted the national advisory committee for its failure to resolve the complaints raised by the party regarding publicized voters list.
The prime opposition party raised concerns over voters list getting publicized without bearing the national identity card numbers opposite the corresponding names.
Earlier the Elections Commission initiated national advisory committee was boycotted by the main opposition on claims the authority did not provide free and fair opportunity for parties to contest in presidential elections.
The electoral watchdog in meeting with MDP later had assured to comply with the issues raised by the party.
However the party's main concern regarding the absence of national identity card number opposite the voters' names have not been resolved by EC.
MDP had thus decided to boycott the electoral watchdog's next call for a sit-down.
MDP chairperson's deputy Ali Niyaz states the party has not decided on its future course of action related to their decision of boycotting the national advisory committee's meetings.
Meanwhile the advisory committee had congratulated opposition alliance nominated presidential candidate originating from MDP, Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. The committee had further advised from the party to cease their acts of boycotting their meetings and cooperate with Elections Commission.
