Parliament is to resume tomorrow after being stalled due to ongoing political turmoil in the Maldives.
Votes scheduled include approval for the appointments of President Dr Waheed’s Vice President and cabinet ministers.
On February 16, Dr Waheed appointed Dr Waheedudeen, a local business tycoon who was also an Atolls Minister under former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, as the Vice President.
According to the constitution of the Maldives, cabinet members require the consent of the parliament.
