The Democrats Slam MDP’s Stance on No-Confidence Motion Against Nasheed
The Democrats condemned the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP)'s stance on the inauguration of president-elect amidst the no-confidence motion against Speaker Mohamed Nasheed. The Democrats accused President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih of using MDP's parliamentary group to obstruct Mohamed Muizzu's inauguration. The no-confidence motion, submitted with 49 signatures, requires 44 votes to pass. MDP issued a three-line whip for the vote on Sunday. MDP alleges Nasheed is breaching procedural rules. Deputy-Speaker Eva Abdulla may not attend, causing delays. MDP warned they will not accept the president's oath on 17 November as legitimate if held in the presence of a Speaker without confidence.
