After seven lawmakers resigned from Parliament last year to assume positions in Muizzu’s administration, the opposition MDP amended standing orders so less votes are needed to impeach the President. The Attorney General’s Office filed on January 28 to suspend the amendment.
The Maldivian Democratic Party accused President Muizzu of affiliating with criminal gangs and failing to protect public officials, noting that such crimes have risen after he came to power. Opposition parties are bringing an impeachment motion against Muizzu citing his anti-India stance.
