Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Eva Abdullah has resigned from her post.
This comes after MDP submitted a motion seeking a no-confidence vote against the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament. The motion was submitted to the Parliament by the MP for Dhuvaafaru Constituency Ismail Ahmed.

In the remarks that lasted more than 30 minutes, the former Deputy Speaker of the Parliament said that victory and defeat are measured by people in different manners.
She said that her victory was for her constituents to confidently claim that their Parliament member cannot be pushed back in the face of treason. She also said that her victory was the belief that all leaders who came had that she could not be waivered with the allure of bribes and money.
She concluded her comments by thanking the Speaker of the Parliament Mohamed Aslam for the opportunity to serve as his Deputy and said that her resignation letter would be given to the Speaker shortly.
Then Parliament minority Leader MP Ali Azim is seen handing over an envelope to the Parliament Secretariate table. A short time later, Speaker Aslam announced that the Deputy Speaker had resigned from her post and that she had informed him of this in writing.
