Mohamed Shihab and Hassan Afeef of the largest opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) have called for political parties not to participate in the upcoming presidential elections if proposed amendments to the Civil Service Act pass a parliamentary vote.
Both are members of parliament, with Afeef heading the party parliamentary group. Opposition groups have argued the amendments are an attempt to regain presidential control over a large sector of the country’s civil servants ahead of the elections.
Debate in the Majlis (parliament) over the amendments continues, with a vote expected next week.
