Will Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu be impeached? Find out about the opposition's push and the demands for an apology to PM Modi.

Amidst political turmoil in the Maldives, President Mohamed Muizzu is facing the possibility of impeachment as the main opposition party, Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), gathers enough signatures to initiate the proceedings. The MDP, known for its anti-China stance, is pushing for Muizzu's removal, citing concerns over his pro-China policies. The escalating tension between the ruling coalition and the opposition highlights a deep divide within the Maldivian political landscape.

The impeachment motion against President Muizzu has stirred up diplomatic tensions with India. Calls for an apology to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have emerged, emphasizing the strained relationship between Maldives and India under Muizzu's leadership. The demand for accountability and apology reflects the sensitivity of diplomatic relations in the region, further complicating the impeachment process.

As the political drama unfolds in the Maldives, the Attorney General's Office has taken legal action by moving to the Maldives Supreme Court over the amendment to the Parliament's standing orders pertaining to the impeachment process. The legal battle adds a complex layer to the political crisis, setting the stage for a significant legal showdown in the Maldivian judiciary.

In a surprising turn of events, the Maldives Jumhooree Party leader, Qasim Ibrahim, has called on President Muizzu to formally apologize to PM Modi, adding a personal touch to the political standoff. The interplay between domestic politics and international diplomacy showcases the intricacies of governance in the Maldives, hinting at a broader impact beyond the borders of the island nation.
