MDP Moves to Impeach Speaker Nasheed

The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) parliamentary group has decided to pursue the removal of Speaker Mohamed Nasheed through a no-confidence motion, following his refusal to put a no-confidence motion against the Attorney General to a vote. Parliament has also scheduled a debate for June 11 on a no-confidence motion against Vice-Speaker Eva Abdulla.
