PPM/PNC unofficially oppose removal of Nasheed as Parliament Speaker

Maduvvari MP Adam Shareef has said that while the opposition Progressive Party of Maldives and People's National Congress (PPM/PNC) coalition has not officially taken a decision on the no-confidence motion against Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) President Mohamed Nasheed from his post as Speaker of Parliament, MP's representing the coalition are against his removal.

The no-confidence motion on Speaker Nasheed was submitted during Wednesday's parliamentary session with the endorsement of 54 parliamentarians.
