Nasheed Impeachment Scheduled as MDP Assures Facilitating Presidential Swearing-In

The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has declared that it will not allow the swearing-in ceremony of the president-elect to proceed while Speaker Mohamed Nasheed, who faces a no-confidence motion, remains in position. MDP assures that all efforts will be made to ensure the ceremony is free from legal questions, and no other parliamentary business will be discussed until the no-confidence motion is settled. The Parliament Secretariat confirmed the motion is scheduled for a vote on Sunday. Legal experts from President-elect Muizzu's PPM-PNC coalition expressed dissatisfaction, with former Prosecutor General Muhthaz Muhsin arguing that halting state activities for a political group is improper, and former Attorney General Azima Shukoor labeling MDP's effort a 'losing battle'. Former Attorney General Diyana Saeed supports MDP's position. If the vote is not conducted by November 17, a constitutional crisis could arise.
