Parliament grants approval for AG Usham, Dr Shaheem and Dr Haidhar

The parliament, which has a ruling People's National Congress (PNC) supermajority, approved three ministers in President Dr Mohamed Muizzu's cabinet who were previously denied approval by the 19th Parliament, which had an opposition majority.

At the time, the opposition, Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) had issued a whip to disapprove four of the 22 nominees proposed for President Dr Mohamed Muizzu's first Cabinet. The parliament had then voted to reject three Ministers on January 29.
