President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has moved swiftly to reconstitute his Cabinet, appointing a new team of ministers following the resignation of ten members earlier on Tuesday, in what signals a decisive push to accelerate his reform agenda.
The newly appointed ministers were formally sworn in by Ahmed Muthasim Adnan, marking the start of a refreshed administration aligned with the President’s vision for stronger governance and improved public service delivery.
Key appointments include Iruthisham Adam as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Heena Waleed as Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage, reflecting a blend of diplomatic experience and strategic communication at the highest levels of government.
The new Cabinet comprises:
- Minister of Finance: Moosa Zameer

The rapid formation of a new Cabinet underscores President Muizzu’s firm grip on governance and his commitment to ensuring stability while pursuing transformative reforms. The coordinated transition is widely seen as a strategic reset designed to inject renewed energy, accountability, and efficiency into key sectors.
By assembling a team that combines experience, technical expertise, and policy alignment, the President is positioning his administration to deliver faster results and respond more effectively to the expectations of the Maldivian people.
The latest reshuffle marks a pivotal moment in the government’s trajectory, reinforcing President Muizzu’s leadership in steering the country toward a more responsive, results-driven, and forward-looking governance model.
