Maldives Parliament approved Mohamed Shakeel's appointment to a vacant seat on the Elections Commission, following a recommendation by its Committee on Independent Institutions on a nomination by President Dr Mohamed Muizzu. The vacancy arose after Mohamed Zahid resigned as Commission member and President, and the Commission now returns to its full complement of five members, with the President's post still vacant.
