Maldives SC upholds President Yameen's poll defeat
The Maldives' Supreme Court has upheld the result of the presidential election where President Abdulla Yameen lost to opposition candidate Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. The court rejected Yameen's petition seeking annulment of the result, ruling that Yameen had failed to prove that the elections were rigged. He had initially conceded defeat but called for fresh elections later citing unfair elections.
