Hinnavaru MP Jeehan Mahmood said the opposition's proposed Civil Rights Department would strip the Human Rights Commission of the Maldives of its powers and concentrate the powers of independent institutions within the government, likening it to attempts to reintroduce an Atolls Ministry. Her remarks, made in response to campaign comments by Malé Mayor Mohamed Muizzu, come ahead of the presidential runoff on 30 September.

Muizzu and Solih are set to compete head-to-head in the presidential runoff elections on 30 September

Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
