Maldives Parliament passes motion to repeal age limit on presidential candidacy

-

The motion which proposed to repeal the constitutional amendment banning those above 65 years of age from contesting the presidential elections, was passed with the votes of 72 members in 85 member Majlis.

It states that only those aged 35 and above will be allowed to contest for Presidency. The amendment to cap the age of presidential candidates was passed in 2015 by then ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM). 

PPM lost the Presidential elections held in September to Joint opposition candidate Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. The amendment enables Jumhooree Party leader and recently elected Parliament Speaker Qasim Ibrahim  to contest future Presidential Elections.
