Broadcom Elects Member Safa Shafeeq for President

Maldives Broadcasting Commission (Broadcom) has elected its member Sofa Shafeeq as its president today.

The Commission’s President’s position has been vacant since December 5, when the former President Mariyam Waheedha’s term ended. Along with her, member Ali Yoosuf’s term also ended, and as the parliament was working to fill those positions, the election of a new president for Broadcom was delayed.

The new president was elected after former Parliamentarian Mohamed Abdulla, who achieved fame in the Maldivian film industry before entering politics, and former commission member and lawyer Aiminath Sarahath were appointed by the parliament as the new commission member. 

 Sofa, who worked as a presenter at TVM, was appointed to Broadcom in May 2023. She received her higher education from Maldives National University as well as in Brunei and Malaysia. She has a master’s degree in communication. 

Apart from Sofa, Mohamed and  Sarahat, the commission consists of Mohamed Fazeen, Aminath Amina, Shifla Ibrahim and Aminath Nuzha.
