Maldives Election Rejected by Court

The Supreme Court of the Maldives has ruled that the elections of September 7 were invalid.

No candidate was able to reach the required fifty percent for a victory, forcing a run off ballot.

However, the court decided that there was election fraud and that a new vote was needed.

They scheduled the new vote to take place on October 20.

Per the constitution the new president must take office by November 11.
