Parliament committee endorses Mohamed Asif to be appointed to ECM

The Parliamentary Committee on Independent Institutions has endorsed Mohamed Asif to be appointed to the vacant membership position at the Elections Commission of the Maldives (ECM).

The parliament committee passed the decision to endorse Asif after reviewing the five nominations sent by the President’s Office for the position. Asif’s name was passed by the committee with votes from 10 members.

A membership position was vacated at ECM following the resignation of Ahmed Shareef from the commission. Shareef had also served as the President of ECM until his resignation.
