Former MP Challenges Constitutional Amendment in Supreme Court

Former MP Ali Hussain filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging a constitutional amendment to Article 73, enacted by President Mohamed Muizzu's administration. The amendment mandates loss of seats for defectors, expelled members, and mid-term joiners. Hussain argues it violates multiple constitutional articles, disrupts separation of powers, and seeks invalidation or non-application to current MPs. The amendment's rushed passage drew criticism from the MDP and public protests. The Supreme Court is yet to decide on hearing the case.
