The People’s Majlis has notified vice president Dr Mohamed Jameel Ahmed of a resolution calling for his removal, and granted him 14 days to respond to charges.
The notice was sent on June 30. Jameel must respond orally or in writing by July 13.
The motion to impeach has not been placed on the Majlis agenda yet, secretary general Ahmed Mohamed said.
The ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) had secured 61 signatures on the impeachment motion. A two-thirds majority or 57 votes of the 85-member house is required to remove the president or the vice president.
