No confidence motion against PM

Speaker changes his mind, withdraws motion of no-confidence

“The current motion was received on 23rd of November and I made a declaration that the motion was in order and will be debated today 30th when the motion becomes mature”, Mr Saimon said.

However, he added that after closer consideration, the Standing Orders clearly state that only the Prime Minister or majority of members could call for an extra ordinary session. In this case, the motion was lodged by the Opposition but it failed to meet the requirement of the Standing Orders (rules of parliament).
