PA has no hand in Speaker no-confidence motion, say Deputy Leader Nazim

People’s Alliance (PA) Deputy Leader and Deputy Speaker of Parliament MP Ahmed Nazim has said that PA has “no hand” in the rumoured no-confidence motion pending against Speaker of Parliament Abdulla Shahid.

SunFM reported Nazim as saying that MPs had spoke against Shahid due to some of the rulings he had made, but that these things were tempered by the situation at the time.

Recently Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) leader and MP Ahmed Thasmeen Ali told the media in an urgent press conference that he had information that some DRP, PA and Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) MPs were planning to forward a no-confidence motion against Shahid.

However, DRP, MDP and PA MPs have so far denied the allegations.
