President Irfaan Ali has announced a planned review of the recently-concluded elections process and to hold anyone who tried to undermine it to account.
“A review of events related to the electoral process over the last five months will begin shortly in order to determine, forensically, exactly what transpired, and to hold accountable any persons who sought to pervert and corrupt the system,” Ali told those gathered at his inauguration yesterday at the National Cultural Centre.
One week ago, five months after the polls and after a series of legal battles, Ali was declared the winner of the presidential elections and subsequently sworn in as the country’s ninth executive president.
