Nasheed Impeachment Standoff Foreshadows Complete Shutdown of State

The no-confidence motion against Parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed has stalled legislative business, with a Sunday sitting cancelled over the Deputy Speaker's sick leave, raising concerns about a shutdown of both parliament and the executive before President-elect Muizzu's swearing-in on 17 November. MDP insists the impeachment be resolved first and plans to petition the Supreme Court over who should preside in the Deputy Speaker's absence, while The Democrats have threatened to block the supplementary budget.
