The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), the main opposition, has collected enough signatures to initiate an impeachment motion against President Mohamed Muizzu. Chaos erupted in Parliament as lawmakers clashed during a session seeking approval for Muizzu's cabinet. A viral video shows physical altercations. The MDP's decision to withhold approval led to protests by pro-government MPs, prompting the opposition to prepare a no-confidence motion. The ruling coalition retaliated with no-confidence motions against the Parliament's Speaker and Deputy Speaker. The situation intensifies amid concerns about obstructing government services by denying cabinet approval.
