Hithadhoo Central MP Ahmed Azaan Marzooq has been removed from the parliament's Public Accounts Committee and Security Services (241) Committee.
The ruling People's National Congress (PNC) earlier isolated the MP from the party activities after he violated a three-line whip.
Multiple sources confirmed to Adhadhu that President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu instructed Azaan's removal from the two most important committees.
The PNC has now appointed him to the Petition Committee and Privileges and Ethics Committee.
Meanwhile, Henveiru North MP Ahmed Aifan was appointed to the Public Accounts Committee while Villimale' MP Mohamed Ismail was appointed to the 241 Committee.
The ruling party's measures against Azaan comes after he disagreed with the government's amendment bill to reduce the size of the Supreme Court bench from seven to five members.
He violated the PNC's whip and left the parliament chamber during the vote for the bill.
Muizzu expressed disappointment over Azaan's actions and the MP was later removed from PNC MPs' WhatsApp group.
"When the party issues a three-line whip, no one should go against it, ever," Muizzu wrote in a message to the WhatsApp group.
Azan previously said he remained a pro-government MP despite opposing the removal of the Supreme Court judges.
