The Maldives Speaker of parliament Mohamed Nasheed resigned on Monday, days before the swearing-in of a new president following a fiercely contested election in the Indian Ocean archipelago. Parliamentary elections are not due until the second quarter of next year, meaning that president-elect Mohamed Muizzu - who takes power on Friday - will have to work with an opposition-controlled parliament. "He didn't want a no-trust vote against him and decided to resign," the aide said.
