Speaking at a press conference on behalf of the MDP parliamentary group today, MP Ali Niyaz said that although the party's 13 members left, the MDP still holds the majority in parliament. There are currently 43 members in the MDP Prosecutor's Group. Niyaz said the party would do everything possible to keep the members in the party.
