MDP to dismiss MPs voting to remove Attorney General

The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) announced that it will dismiss any of its members who vote in favor of the no-confidence motion submitted to Parliament against Attorney General Ibrahim Riffath.

Opposition Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) and People's National Congress (PNC) PPM-PNC coalition filed a no-confidence motion against Riffath last Thursday, claiming that the legal team he had led did not represent the best interests of the Maldives at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) during boundary demarcation with Mauritius.
