MDP, The Democrats request extraordinary sitting of parliament

Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) and The Democrats have said today that they have sent in a request to the Parliament Secretariat to hold an extraordinary sitting before the last session of the 19th People's Majlis commenced on February 5.

The reason for the request is to approve the mandates of the government ministries before the law is amended to disallow elections in Ramadan, or before the cabinet is given parliamentary approval.
