MPs from the main opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) lambasted Alhan Fahmy, an MP from their party, at a rally last night, after he voted against party lines in a no-confidence motion against the foreign minister.
At the rally, DRP MPs spoke out against Alhan calling him a “rat”.
Speaking to Minivan News today, MP Ahmed Nihan said Alhan’s decision to vote against the party was the “biggest surprise” of the day. “I didn’t expect him to do that,” he said.
Last month, the opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party-People’s Alliance (DRP-PA) coalition submitted a motion of no-confidence against Dr Ahmed Shaheed over the government’s decision establish ties with Israel.
