The Parliamentary Group of the ruling MDP has decided to submit another no-confidence motion against the Speaker of the Parliament Mohamed Nasheed.
The decision was made at the group's meeting held today when it was put to a vote and it passed unanimously from those who took part in the meeting.
MDP's PG said its main reason to submit another no-confidence motion against the Speaker was because of how he had worked against MDP in the name of reform but for his own benefit.
Last June MDP submitted a no-confidence motion against Speaker Nasheed and his deputy MP Eva Abdullah. But the parliament remained deadlocked as both refused to chair the sessions debating each other's motion.
While the issue prolonged, MDP eventually decided not to go through with the motion right after its Presidential Candidate President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih came in second in the first round of the Presidential election held last month.
It was seen as a move to appease and gain the support of the Democrats, to which both Nasheed and Eva belong, whose Candidate gained the third highest votes in the first round of the Presidential election.
But eventually, MDP and the Democrats could not come to an agreement and the Democrats chose to remain neutral for the second round of voting which President Solih loses to PNC Candidate Dr. Mohamed Muizzu.
