MDP Alleges PNC of Misusing Supermajority in Parliament

The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) accused the ruling People's National Congress (PNC) of misusing its parliamentary supermajority for personal gain and stifling dissent. MDP submitted two emergency motions: one urging the Muizzu administration to resume scholarship payments for students abroad, and another calling for an end to staff dismissals from state-owned companies and reduced high-paid political appointments. PNC lawmakers rejected both motions, claiming MDP was wasting parliamentary time. MDP spokesperson Mauroof Zakir condemned the rejection, while MP Ibrahim Nazil alleged PNC prioritizes praising President Muizzu over addressing critical issues. MDP vowed to continue advocating for citizens' concerns.
