MP Mohamed Ameeth speaking in parliament
Mohamed Ameeth, a member of the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives’ (PPM) parliamentary group has said that he would vote in favour of the no-confidence motion against parliament speaker Abdulla Maseeh.
In a tweet on Sunday night, MP Ameeth said that it was his moral and ‘national’ duty to oust Maseeh.
The motion of no-confidence, filed on 8th March, will enter parliament on Monday.
The six-point motion further accuses Maseeh of ‘refusing to ensure’ equality in parliament, disregarding the rule of law, disrespecting the system of checks and balances, disregard for procedure, and ‘subverting’ democracy.
If all members are present, the motion requires 42 votes in favour to pass.
