The Complex Dynamics Within the Parliament: Is There a Resolution on the Horizon?
The 19th People's Majlis, in which the MDP won 67 of 87 seats in 2019, has been paralysed by internal party division, with no-confidence motions filed against Speaker Mohamed Nasheed and Deputy Speaker Eva Abdulla and 14 MPs leaving to form a new party, ending the supermajority. The deadlock continues into the final session ahead of the presidential polls on 9 September, with analysts saying a resolution remains elusive.
