Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu is facing the threat of losing his post after an impeachment motion is set to be filed in Parliament by the Opposition, according to local media reports. The development has come a day after high voltage drama unfolded in Parliament, as reported by ANI citing local media outlets.
The main opposition party of the Maldives, the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), which holds a majority in Parliament, has gathered enough signatures to submit a motion to impeach Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu, as per the reports. The impeachment motion against the president has received support from a total of 34 members, including representatives from both the MDP and Democrats, according to a report by The Sun.
The decision to submit an impeachment motion was taken unanimously in the parliamentary group meeting of the MDP held on Monday, The Edition.mv reported. If government lawmakers continue to disrupt Parliament, the MDP has decided that it would deny approval to the home minister and the defence Minister.
After heavy police force deployment inside the Maldivian parliament, reports emerged about a skirmish between political leaders that broke out on Sunday. The parliament witnessed violence when government MPs from the PPM/PNC party disturbed the proceedings and the Speakers. The video footage showed the violent skirmishes between the parliamentarians, confirming the intense tension surrounding the impeachment motion.
The looming impeachment threat raises political tensions and uncertainty in the Maldives, impacting the governance and stability of the country. The move is a significant development in Maldivian politics and is a testament to the ever-changing dynamics of the region. Should the impeachment motion proceed, it could result in a dramatic change in the leadership of the Maldives, bringing potential political repercussions and reshuffling of power dynamics.
