The majority leader of parliament, Inguraidhoo MP Ibrahim Falah, stated that the three branches of the state should not interfere with or override each other’s authority.
Falah’s remarks come amid an ongoing Supreme Court case challenging the constitutional amendment that disqualifies MPs from Parliament if they switch parties.
Similarly the Democrats President, Imthiyaz Fahumy, previously argued that only Parliament has the authority to amend the Constitution, citing the example of the United States. Supporting Fahmy’s stance, Falah emphasized that the power to amend the Constitution lies solely with Parliament. He also noted that maintaining public confidence in the judiciary is crucial for the country.
In a statement, Falah expressed his full agreement with Fahmy’s position, reinforcing the argument that constitutional amendments should remain within Parliament’s jurisdiction.
