President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has declared February 6, the opening day of Parliament, a public holiday.

Parliament is set to commence its new session on February 6, with President Muizzu scheduled to deliver the presidential address. While the opening of Parliament has traditionally been a public holiday, it was not designated as such last year when President Muizzu assumed office.

With this decision, government offices and institutions will remain closed on the day of the parliamentary opening.
