No confidence motion against Speaker Abdulla Shahid scheduled for tomorrow

Parliament will tomorrow consider a no confidence motion against Speaker of Parliament Abdulla Shahid forwarded by the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP).
In April the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Parliamentary Group passed its own no-confidence motion against Abdulla Shahid.
Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) Parliamentary Group leader and MP Dr Abdulla Mausoom previously told the local press that he will make sure the no-confidence motion against Speaker fails in parliament.
The opening day of parliament’s second session was held today. Parliament sent the issue of joining the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), also known as the Washington Convention, to the National Development Committee.
