CONCERNED AT DELAY, BAN SAYS MALDIVES RUN-OFF VOTE SHOULD BE HELD AS
SOON AS POSSIBLENew York, Sep 24 2013 5:00PMSecretary-General Ban
Ki-moon today voiced his concern at the decision by the Supreme Court
in the Maldives to postpone the second round of the presidential
election and said the run-off should be held as soon as possible.

"These are pivotal elections for reaffirming the democratic process in
the Maldives," said a
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7121">statement issued
by Mr. Ban's spokesperson. "The people of the Maldives have exhibited
great patience and should have the opportunity, without undue delay,
to exercise their vote."

The first round of the presidential election, held on 7 September, had
been widely recognized as a success by international and domestic
election observers. The second round was scheduled for 28 September.

The current election is seen as an important step in the country's
democratic transition. The Maldives underwent a regime change in 2012,
when the previous democratically-elected president, Mohamed Nasheed,
resigned in contested circumstances. He was succeeded by his former
deputy, Mohammed Waheed Hassan.

Mr. Ban reiterated that it is "of the utmost importance" that the will
of the people be respected in deciding the future of the country.

"The Secretary-General urges all Maldivians to exercise restraint,
renew their commitment to the Constitutions and work toward conducive
conditions for peaceful, credible run-off polls to take place as soon
as possible," the statement added.Sep 24 2013 5:00PM
