Parliament Impasse Continues With No Progress on Nasheed Impeachment

The no-confidence motion against Speaker Mohamed Nasheed remains unresolved as Parliament's Monday sitting was cancelled due to the absence of Deputy Speaker Eva Abdulla, who is recovering from dengue. The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has filed a constitutional case with the Supreme Court, arguing that the Parliament Secretariat's decision to require the Deputy Speaker to preside over impeachment sittings is unconstitutional. MDP seeks enforcement of Standing Orders allowing an MP to chair in the absence of both Speaker and Deputy Speaker, and insists that no other sittings should be held until the motion is resolved. The impasse threatens the upcoming presidential inauguration of Dr. Mohamed Muizzu on November 17, as MDP has vowed not to recognize the oath if administered by a speaker who has lost confidence. The political deadlock raises concerns about the functionality of state institutions.
