The announcement follows the swearing-in of Mohamed Shafeeg Mahmood and Ahmed Magsoom as HRCM members earlier this week. Both took the oath of office before Supreme Court Justice Mohamed Saleem and received their official letters of appointment from the President.

Meanwhile, Parliament is scheduled to hold a special sitting next Monday to elect presidents for both the HRCM and the Civil Service Commission (CSC), according to People’s National Congress (PNC) parliamentary group leader Ibrahim Falah.
