Supreme Court Verdict: Can It Break the Parliamentary Deadlock?

The Supreme Court ruled on the parliamentary deadlock over the no-confidence motion against Speaker Mohamed Nasheed. The court clarified that if both Speaker and Deputy Speaker are absent, a long-serving MP should chair. This may allow the motion to proceed, but Nasheed allegedly plans to obstruct until after the Presidential Inauguration on 17 November. MDP plans to protest if President-elect Muizzu is sworn in with Nasheed presiding. The motion is scheduled for Sunday.
