Adheem, who previously worked at Customs, contested for the Machchangolhi North constituency council seat on the ruling PNC’s ticket during the local council elections last April, but was unsuccessful. Following the election, he served as a Senior Political Director at the Ministry of Homeland Security.
In a related development, former Deputy Mayor Mohamed Arish, who also lost in the local council elections, was appointed to the Post Office board last October. Prior to that appointment, Arish served as an Under Secretary at the President’s Office.
Several other PNC candidates who were unsuccessful in the council elections have similarly been appointed to positions in various government ministries and state-owned enterprises recently.
