• The main opposition party in Maldives, Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), plans to file an impeachment motion against President Mohamed Muizzu.
• The MDP has garnered support from enough MPs to file the motion, with a total of 34 MPs expressing support so far.
• This comes after violence erupted in parliament over clashes about seeking approval for President Muizzu's cabinet ministers.
• The MDP and allied Democrats hold 56 seats in parliament, meeting the minimum needed to impeach the president.
• Earlier, the ruling party submitted a no-confidence motion against the Parliament Speaker and Deputy Speaker from the MDP.
