The no-confidence motion has been once again submitted to the parliament against parliament speaker Mohamed Nasheed.
The motion, signed by 49 members of the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), submitted to the parliament, stated that speaker Nasheed had been placing items on the agenda for personal motives rather than in the best interest of the nation.
The motion further accused him of siding with parliamentarians attempting to undermine the decorum of the parliament, and had continued to proceed with sittings in violation of regulations.
MDP's motion also alleged that the speaker deliberately halted parliament proceedings for an extended period, while favoring sittings for his party, The Democrats.
The ruling party's motion was accepted by the parliament's secretariat on Monday morning, October 9.
Despite accepting the motion, parliament's secretariat did not clarify if the motion will proceed forward.
While the motion's decision was expected on Monday's sitting, it was cancelled owing to lack of quorum.
Members of The Democrats, however, demanded that the no-confidence motion not be tabled during a parliament sitting, citing that it was not applicable amid the government's transitional period.
