Muizzu Changes Ministries for the Third Time in Three Years

President Mohamed Muizzu tonight announced a new cabinet and a restructured set of ministries, marking the third major reorganisation of government portfolios in under three years.

The announcement comes just hours after a wave of high-level resignations, signalling a rapid and decisive reset of the administration amid mounting political pressure.

The reshuffle introduces several newcomers to the cabinet, including:

• Iruthishaam Adam, appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs
• Geela Ali, taking over Health, Family and Welfare
• Heena Waleedh, appointed Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage
• Ali Shareef, heading Climate Change, Environment and Energy

The new cabinet includes:

• Finance and Public Enterprises – Moosa Zameer
• Homeland Security, Labour and Technology – Ali Ihusan
• Education, Higher Education and Skills Development – Dr. Ismail Shafeeu
• Economic Development, Transport and Trade – Mohamed Saeed
• Islamic Affairs and Endowments – Dr. Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed
• Tourism and Civil Aviation – Mohamed Ameen
• Youth Empowerment, Sports and Fitness – Abdulla Rafiu
• Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development – Dr. Abdulla Muththalib

The sweeping changes follow a damaging electoral setback for the government, which triggered internal instability and a series of resignations earlier in the day.
