The President’s list of nominees has 15 names in total.

THE NOMINEES:

1. Shifla Ibrahim
2. Aminath Ameena
3. Aminath Nuzuha
4. Sauda Saleem
5. Mohamed Fazeen
6. Zubair Ahmed
7. Moosa Rilwan

10. Imrana Binth Abdulla
11. Ismail Sajid
12. Ahmed Khaleel
13. Mohamed Rasheed Ahmed
14. Ahmed Fairooz
15. Aishath Areefa

The list was read at the parliamentary floor this Wednesday morning, and has been sent to the Independent Institutions Committee for vetting.

The person who will fill the vacancy at BroadCom will be decided in a floor vote, once the vetting process in complete.
