President Mohamed Muizzu's Cabinet






= Parliament rejection

=
After Mohamed Muizzu appointed the members of the cabinet and sent them to the parliament, majority of the members were approved but three weren't. Ali Haidar Ahmed, Ahmed Usham, and Mohamed Shaheem were rejected by the parliament. The rejection later caused a brawl in parliament between the MPs. After the three ministers were rejected, Muizzu re-appointed them, which MPs called that Muizzu was undermining the power of the parliament. In the 20th parliament, the ministers were approved.

June 2010 En Masse Cabinet Resignation

On 29 June 2010, Nasheed's 13 cabinet ministers resigned en masse, protesting the behaviour of opposition MPs who they said were “hijacking” the powers of the executive and making it impossible for the cabinet Ministers to discharge their constitutional duties and deliver the government's election manifesto. The ministers called on the President to investigate why certain MPs were blocking the government's work, citing allegations of corruption and bribery in parliament.
On 29 June, Maldives Police Service arrested two parliamentarians, Abdulla Yameen, leader of the People's Alliance party and former President Gayoom's half brother, and Gasim Ibrahim, head of the Jumhooree Party, on suspicion of bribing fellow parliamentarians to vote against the government. The police are investigating the two MPs for corruption, along with a third MP, Mohamed Mustapha, of the ruling MDP.
On 7 July, President Nasheed reappointed all thirteen Ministers of the Cabinet, at a ceremony held at the President's Office in Male'.
Speaking at a press conference held shortly after presenting the Ministers with their letters of appointment, President Nasheed said his government would “work towards fulfilling its pledges to the people.”
The President noted that the government has investigated the reasons why cabinet members felt they had to resign and the police have taken appropriate action. The President reiterated that only a small number of MPs are implicated in alleged corruption. “The reputation of the People’s Majlis should not be tarnished because of corruption allegations against a few parliamentarians,” the President said.



Parliament Rejection of Cabinet Members

After the reinstallation of the cabinet on July 7, the cabinet was sent to the parliament for endorsement.
On November 22, the parliament voted and declared that only 5 out of the 12 appointees would be accepted. They also called for the rejected ministers to step down immediately. This resulted in heated arguments between ruling party MDP and opposing DRP, who holds majority seats in parliament. The parliament ruled that the rejected appointees would not be considered as ministers, and refused to allow Finance minister, Ali Hashim present the 2011 state budget for parliament approval. Members of MDP responded to this by declaring that neither parliament or supreme court had rights to dismiss ministers and threatened high members of the parliament.
On December 10, 2010, the Supreme Court of Maldives ruled that the ministers not endorsed by the parliament cannot remain in their posts; and requested their immediate resignation from office.
On December 13, 2010, President Nasheed appointed 2 new ministers and acting ministers for 4 more offices. He also reappointed the rejected Attorney General, Dr. Sawad.
As of February 2011, only 3 of 7 rejected ministers have been replaced. The remaining ministries are currently managed by the other cabinet members.



2011 Parliament Cabinet Endorsement

On 21 March 2011, the parliament voted on the endorsement of 5 new ministers appointed. The result was the endorsement of 4 ministers. These include:

Shifa Mohamed, Minister of Education
Hassan Afeef, Minister of Home Affairs
Mohamed Adil Saleem, Minister of Transport and Communication.
Dr. Mariyam Zulfa, Minister of Tourism.
Only 1 of the appointees were rejected. This was the Attorney General, Dr. Ahmed Ali Sawad, who had been re-appointed by President Nasheed after being rejected by the parliament earlier.
Just hours after the endorsement, two new ministers were sworn into office. This included a new Attorney General and a new Minister of Foreign Affairs.
