Parliament on Thursday sent the notice of the opposition led censure motion to remove speaker Abdulla Maseeh.
According to parliament rules of procedure, the secretariat is required to send a 10 day notice to lawmakers after a no-confidence motion is filed against the speaker and the deputy.
Parliament however, is yet to table the motion on the agenda.
After the now opposition coalition in March had filed a second motion to unseat speaker Abdulla Maseeh, the government had engineered an amendment to the parliament rules of procedure raising the number of lawmaker signatures required to file a censure motion against the speaker and his deputy from 15 to 42.
The opposition had filed the third censure motion against Maseeh with 45 lawmakers which included ten lawmakers from the ruling party.
Latest reports within the ruling party indicate that most lawmakers have become frustrated with recent government policies and there remains a real threat that more lawmakers would crossover to the opposition.
