The Electoral Commission has dismissed a complaint from the National Federation Party in relation to a member of the public namely, Mohammed Sareem allegedly vote buying.

The Commission says NFP had alleged that Sareem was in the conduct of vote buying through his TikTok platform namely Rajdhani2022.

They say the Commission noted the allegations were without any merit and they found that Sareem was acting in his personal/private capacity and there was no vote buying taking place under the said platform.

In dismissing the complaint, the Electoral Commission noted that every individual has the right to political participation.

They say Sareem was simply hosting a TikTok and the Commission did not find that he was part of or represented any political party.
