DUBAI // The National Elections Committee has revealed that it received an appeal from a Dubai candidate, challenging results of the initial FNC election vote count.

The candidate queried the number of votes he received from the members of the electoral college in his emirate.

Saeed Mohammed Al Ghafli, assistant undersecretary for Federal National Council Affairs in the Ministry of State for FNC Affairs and member of the NEC, said: “The appeal has been referred to the appeals committee chaired by a judge to deliberate on the appeal in form and substance. The commission will draft its legal report and raise it to the NEC to take a decision.”

Mr Al Ghafli told Al Ittihad, the sister newspaper of The National, that decisions issued by the NEC about appeals are considered final.

The appeals committee is expected to rule on the appeal during a meeting on Thursday.
