The former President of Maldives Mohamed
Nasheed has been nominated as speaker of new parliament or Majlis which will
hold its first sitting today. Nasheed, who leads the Maldives Democratic Party (MDP) was
unanimously elected speaker by its newly elected MPs last night. MDP had won a
record 65 out of 87 seats in parliamentary elections held last month. Nasheed after his nomination said that the
19th parliament proceedings will be lawful and that the public will see a
difference. The former President said that he accepted his nomination after
considering the difficult situation within the party and out of respect to the
wishes of party MPs. His comments came as there were reports that party was
headed for a split as five MPs including two strong contenders had shown
interest for the post of speaker. However, both of them proposed the name of
Mr. Nasheed during the MDP meeting. President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih
congratulated both saying that he looks forward to work with the new Majlis on
behalf of all Maldivians. Meanwhile, the newly elected MPs will take the oath
of office today. As per the constitution, the new MPs are supposed to elect a
Speaker and a Deputy Speaker from its members by secret ballot.Another MDP MP
Eva Abdulla has been nominated for the post of deputy speaker.
