Maldives Supreme Court upholds president's vote defeat!

• Yameen lost last month's presidential election to joint opposition candidate Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.

The Maldives top court on Sunday rejected a petition by President Abdulla Yameen to annul last month's election results and call a fresh poll, upholding his defeat.

The five-judge Supreme Court bench unanimously ruled that Yameen had failed to prove his claim that the September 23 vote won by opposition candidate Ibrahim Mohamed Solih was rigged.
