PNC, MDP agree on capping parliamentarian numbers

Both ruling People's National Congress (PNC) and opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) concur that the total number of parliamentarians must be capped and stated the same at the Parliament's Independent Institutions Committee meeting held yesterday.

While at present there are 93 members of parliament, with the rising population of the country, the number of parliamentarians also increase with every five year term.
