Parliament has thrown out the proposed amendments to the Armed Forces Act, put forward last week.
The Majlis was stalled last Wednesday after two contradictory amendments to the Armed Forces Act were proposed.
The first amendment came from Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) MP for Manimaadhoo Amhed Mujthaz, proposing Parliament should ultimately have the power to approve or deny the president’s choice for army chief.
The second amendment came from Maldivian Democratic Party (MPD) MP Mariya Didi, which was meant to counteract DRP’s proposal.
