MP Hussain Shahudhy, one of ten ruling party lawmakers who signed a no-confidence motion against the speaker of parliament, has quit the Progressive Party of Maldives.
The MP for the Hanimaadhoo constituency in Haa Dhaal atoll asked MP Dr Abdulla Khaleel, the PPM’s secretary-general, to remove him from the party’s registry in a letter sent on Friday, which was also copied to the Elections Commission.
Shahudhy, who switched to the PPM from its former coalition partner Jumhooree Party in January 2016, said he did not wish to be active in any political party at present.
He becomes the second lawmaker to leave the PPM since the opposition alliance submitted the no-confidence motion against Speaker Abdulla Maseeh Mohamed with 45 signatures from the 85-member house.
