| Summary / Abstract (Note) | On 7th of August 2009, the then president, Gayoom ratified the Constitution. With the Special Majlis packed with his men, Gayoom was able to run through many of the controversial provisions and thanks to the spirited fight of the unofficial MDP members and a no nonsense Speaker of the special Majlis-Gasim Ibrahim, the new constitution ratified just in time to enable the country to go through the Presidential elections before the completion of the term of the then President. |
