Police to Investigate MPs’ Bribery Allegations: Parliament Secretariat
The Maldives Parliament secretariat has submitted a case to the police for investigation of bribery allegations involving MPs, confirmed by communications director Hassan Ziyau, with no further details. Meanwhile, members of the breakaway faction of the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) who joined The Democrats are rejoining MDP. Fourteen MPs originally crossed to The Democrats, but only three applied to update party affiliation, and two—Hassan Shiyan (Thoddoo) and Yasir Abdul Latheef (Kulhudhuffushi North)—have officially re-joined MDP. Latheef's return also brought all council members of the Kulhudhuffushi City Council to MDP.
