The WIN party, led by businessman Azruddin Mohamed, is threatening legal action against National Assembly Speaker Manzoor Nadir. The party demands he convene a meeting for non-governmental members of parliament to elect a Leader of the Opposition. Attorney Siand Dhurjon issued a formal letter stating that failure to act within fourteen days would result in a Supreme Court case.
Dhurjon referenced a prior request submitted by multiple opposition MPs during Parliament's first sitting. He stated the Speaker declined to hold the meeting that day, offering an ambiguous response about a future date. The attorney argued that this delay is unjustified and undermines the constitutional process.
The WIN party expressed serious concern over the Speaker's silence, suggesting it questions the impartiality of the parliamentary process. They emphasized the critical role of the Opposition Leader, whose duties include consultation on major appointments such as the Police Commissioner and senior judiciary positions. They view the delay as a disregard for constitutional governance.
