MPs of the ruling Progressive Party of the Maldives (PPM) are collecting signatures for a motion to impeach Vice President Ahmed Adeeb.
“We are trying to get all of the ruling coalition MPs to sign the petition. As soon as that is done, we will submit the motion, maybe in a day or two,” a PPM MP who wished to remain anonymous said.
Adeeb was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of links to the September 28 explosion on President Abdulla Yameen’s boat. The government says the blast was an assassination attempt. The president escaped unhurt.
Some 29 signatures are required for the parliament to consider an impeachment motion.
