PNC sets September congress, internal elections scheduled for July

The ruling People's National Congress (PNC) has announced that its party congress will be held from 15 to 18 September, following a decision by the party's Senate to bring the event forward from October. The announcement was made on Monday by PNC Chairperson and Speaker of Parliament Abdul Raheem Abdulla. Internal elections to select constituency-level office bearers will be held before the congress, with constituency leadership elections scheduled for 11 July. Under party regulations, PNC MPs automatically serve as constituency presidents, so elections will only be held in constituencies without a sitting PNC MP. The congress will elect senior party positions but not party president or chairperson, as those are automatically held by the President of Maldives and appointed by the President respectively.
