PNF to Hold Inaugural Congress on Tuesday

The People's National Front (PNF), led by Zain Abdulla Yameen, will hold its inaugural congress on Tuesday, 9 April at 9:15 p.m. at Ghiyasuddin International School, after being postponed from Monday to meet the Elections Commission's three-day notification requirement. Former president Abdulla Yameen, serving an 11-year sentence but held under house arrest, formally asked the Maldives Correctional Service for permission to attend, though an anonymous corrections official said he was not granted permission.
