The government coalition, which is composed of the Progressive Party of the Maldives (PPM) and the People’s National Congress (PNC), has said that it will not permit any attempt to remove President Mohammed Muijzz through the legislative process. As per the media sources on Monday, Mohammed Muijzz’s impeachment resolution is set to be proposed by the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), the dominant opposition party in the Maldives with a majority in parliament.

The PPM parliamentary group (PG) member Ahmed Salim (Redwave Salim) said at a news conference on Monday that the coalition will block any attempts by the MDP to remove President Mohamed Muijzz from office, according to The Edition.mv’s article.

Salim firmly asserted, “There’s no way we’ll afford them the opportunity to proceed in this direction.”

. We must all be dealt with before they consider taking the President out of office.”

According to Ahmed Salim, “We won’t allow them to carry out this.” We must all be dealt with before they consider taking the President out of office.”

Even though the Democrats, a party that broke away from the MDP, hold a majority in parliament, the coalition maintains that such an episode will not occur.

A day after a brawl between government supporters and opposition members in parliament on Sunday over disagreements over the approval of four cabinet members in support of the President’s cabinet backed by China, there was another altercation in parliament on Sunday.

The PG’s head in the People’s Majlis, Ahmed Salim, stated at a press conference: “We have partnered with the Democrats to acquire enough signatures for the impeachment resolution. They haven’t turned it in yet, though.”

According to the Edition.mv article, the MDP decided unanimously on Monday during a parliamentary group meeting to submit an impeachment proposal.

To dismiss the existing President, the parliament must vote 53 times in favor. Thorik expressed confidence that there are members in both parties who will not support such a vote, claiming that even by combining the members of the Democrats and MDP, they might not be able to obtain the necessary number.

Muijzz made an early request to remove 88 soldiers from India by March 15 after taking the oath of office as President of the Maldives on November 17. He cited a “strong public mandate” from the Maldives people. The 87-member Maldivian Parliament recently modified its standing orders to make it easier for impeachment proposals to be submitted. The Maldives Constitution states that an impeachment of the President may be carried out with 56 votes.

During the cabinet approval vote on Monday, certain members of the MDP’s membership voted against the party’s line, according to Thorik, who rejected the MDP’s attempts at impeachment as pointless.

He continued, “It proves that MDP does not have the numbers they want.”

Sunday night’s intra-parliamentary conflicts resulted in a temporary suspension of the session after MPs disrupted the proceedings with a plastic horn and microphone, making it difficult to file the resolution to dismiss the four new cabinet members that Muijzz had nominated.

Known for their opulent tourism, MPs were observed disconnecting the microphone and using a plastic horn to disrupt proceedings during the session.

The parliament was suspended after a violent altercation was captured on camera, showing at least one politician bleeding from the neck. The footage was circulated on social media. Parliamentarians were compelled to use improvised tools, interfering with proceedings using a plastic horn and blocking movement with the microphone amid the mayhem.

On Monday, the Maldivian Parliament passed a resolution opposing the nomination of three cabinet members.

Legislators from the Maldives decided on Monday to reject the appointment of three cabinet members in the interim. The main opposition’s legislators, who were divided over Muijzz’s appointment of a 22-member cabinet, tried to obstruct their votes with the help of ruling party lawmakers.

According to a member of parliament from the ruling party, the opposition has not given a clear explanation for why they oppose the three nominations, and the new cabinet does not have the necessary support inside the party.

Muijzz declared later on Monday that he had reappointed people to the three jobs.

The election for president was won by Muijzz in September of last year. But in the parliament, where the Maldives Democratic Party (MDP) and its allies hold a two-thirds majority, his party is in opposition.

The Maldives will hold parliamentary elections in the middle of March.
