President Dr Mohamed Waheed has condemned efforts by individuals to stop former President Mohamed Nasheed from running for Office of President of Maldives. He believes this is not the time to engage in efforts to obstruct or bar candidates from going through the electoral process.
President Waheed’s condemnation comes in connection to the case filed in the Supreme Court today by a prominent lawyer, requesting a ruling to bar former President Nasheed from standing for office in the forthcoming elections of 2013.
“It will not help resolve the already volatile political situation in Maldives” President Waheed said.
