Adhaalath Party fined MVR 25,000

The Elections Commission (EC) has fined the Adhaalath Party MVR 25,000.

The EC said the party was fined because its 2024 audit report, submitted on October 5, noted that complete records of all expenditure had not been maintained as required under Article 41 of the Political Parties Act.

Article 41 of the Political Parties Act requires political parties to maintain detailed records of all expenditure.

However, the auditors noted in Adhaalath’s audit report that they could not verify the amounts recorded as the value of some of the party’s assets and equipment in 2024 because the relevant supporting documents had not been submitted.

According to the EC’s register of political parties, the Adhaalath Party currently has a total of 6,086 members.
