With the latest election, AP will have three vice presidents, including incumbent Vice President Ahmed Shareef.
During the congress, AP also elected new members to its judges’ council, youth council and women’s council. The party also carried out deliberations on amending the party regulations and structure during the ongoing congress.
The last day of AP’s congress is March 14. The amendments to regulations and structure will be passed during the last session of the congress. This is the first time a political party has carried out its congress online.
AP is one of the coalition partners of the current administration. In January this year, the party elected Minister of Home Affairs Imran Abdulla to another term as the President of the party.
