In a significant move reflecting the government's reshuffling, Parliament has approved the appointments of three ministers today. The changes were made by President Mohamed Muizzu as part of a cabinet restructuring initiated on September 30.
The notable cabinet changes include the transfer of Moosa Zameer from his position as Foreign Minister to Finance Minister, alongside Health Minister Dr. Abdullah Khaleel, who has now been appointed as the new Foreign Minister. Abdullah Nazim Ibrahim has also been appointed as the Health Minister, previously serving as the Principal Secretary to the President on Public Policy.
In a decisive parliamentary session, 86 members voted in favor of each minister in separate votes, signaling strong support for the appointments.
According to the Maldives Constitution, the names of individuals appointed by the President to the Council of Ministers must be submitted to Parliament for approval within seven days from the date of their appointment, ensuring legislative oversight of executive decisions.
This marks the first cabinet change President Muizzu has made since taking office on November 17 of last year. The new appointments are expected to bring fresh perspectives and strategies to the respective ministries as the government continues to navigate various challenges and priorities in the Maldives.
