PNC in Talks to Oust Parliament Speaker Amid Political Tensions

The ruling Progressive National Congress (PNC) has begun discussions to remove Parliament Speaker Abdul Raheem Abdulla from his post, following the dismissal of his son, Ibrahim Faisal, as tourism minister. Faisal was sacked on Tuesday without explanation, and the tourism portfolio was temporarily handed to Economic Minister Mohamed Saeed. Abdul Raheem, who also serves as PNC chairman, claims Faisal's removal was due to strained relations between Saeed and President Mohamed Muizzu. He has been sidelined from party activities and cut short a trip to Malaysia. The move follows rumours of a rift between Abdul Raheem and Muizzu, despite Muizzu previously calling him a close ally.
