Ex-President Yameen Faces Upset as Endorsed Candidates Fail in Parliamentary Elections
Former President Abdulla Yameen suffered a major setback in Sunday's parliamentary elections as none of the 35 independent candidates he endorsed won seats, leaving his People's National Front without representation in the 20th parliament. The High Court had overturned Yameen's bribery and money laundering conviction just 48 hours before the vote, ordering a retrial and releasing him after he served nearly one year and four months of an 11-year sentence.
