President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has today thanked all those who won the internal elections of the main ruling party, PNC.
In a post on “X”, President Dr. Muizzu said he congratulates those who won the Congress Party’s internal elections. He also thanked all the candidates who contested for various positions and those involved in organizing the election.
President Dr. Muizzu also thanked all the members who voted in PNC’s election.
PNC’s internal election was held today from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Voting at some polling stations continued longer as they did not start at the scheduled time.
In this election, presidents and vice presidents of constituencies, and various positions for local activities such as steering committees were elected. If a constituency has a Member of Parliament, that constituency will not elect a president. Those constituencies will elect vice presidents and other positions.
In addition, each constituency will elect a president for the youth movement and a president for the women’s movement, and each city constituency will elect a president for the youth movement and a president for the women’s movement.
According to PNC, 1,984 positions will be filled in the internal election. This includes those who were elected unopposed, while 667 candidates contested in today’s election.
PNC had previously stated that this is the largest internal election held by a political party to date.
