Nasheed’s No-Confidence Motion Tabled for Monday

The no-confidence motion against Parliament Speaker and former President Mohamed Nasheed is set for Monday. This comes after a surprising result in Saturday's presidential election where Nasheed's former allies, the ruling MDP, lost to the opposition PNC/PPM candidate Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. The parliament had been unable to convene fully due to election campaigns. MDP initiated no-confidence procedures against Nasheed and Deputy Speaker Eva Abdulla in June, leading to a legislative stalemate as both stepped back. Accusations of presiding unconstitutionally caused internal divisions, with Nasheed's faction eventually leaving to form The Democrats. An extraordinary session realigned committees. Nasheed is accused of perpetuating deadlock. A simple majority is needed for the motion to pass. Currently MDP has 56 seats, Democrats 12.
