The no confidence motion set against Deputy Speaker of Parliament Eva Abdulla has been scheduled for tomorrow’s parliament sitting.

The letter, which was sent to Eva today and is signed by the Secretary General of Parliament, Fathimath Niusha stated that the motion will be scheduled for tomorrow’s session as the 14-day notice period has expired.

With Eva’s resignation from MDP and the formation of “The Democrats”, a motion was submitted to the Parliament to remove Eva from her position as the Deputy Speaker. The motion to remove Eva from office, submitted on 23 May 2023, was signed by 50 members belonging to the ruling MDP.

The no-confidence motion against Eva was rescinded after scheduling as the reformation of the parliamentary committees was yet incomplete.
