Parliament Speaker Abdul Raheem met with the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Parliamentary Group Leader Ibrahim Nazil for discussions earlier this afternoon, the MDP parliamentary group confirmed.
While details of the meeting were not disclosed, Nazil indicated that a range of issues were discussed during the talks with the Speaker.
The meeting comes amid strained relations between Speaker Abdul Raheem and President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. Tensions reportedly escalated following the dismissal of Abdul Raheem's son Faisal from his position as Tourism Minister and the subsequent removal of other family members from government roles.
This meeting also coincides with preparations for the opening session of the Parliament, scheduled for Thursday at 9:00 a.m. The agenda for the session, now distributed to members, confirms that Speaker Abdul Raheem will preside over the proceedings.
Political observers are closely watching developments as the Parliament reconvenes amid heightened political tensions.
