As the Maldives prepares for parliamentary elections, President Mohamed Muizzu is embroiled in controversy following leaked reports alleging corruption dating back to 2018. The leaked intelligence documents, shared anonymously on social media, raise concerns about irregularities in money transfers to President Muizzu’s personal bank account, implicating him in financial misconduct. Opposition parties, including the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) and People’s National Front (PNF), are demanding a thorough investigation into the allegations and calling for President Muizzu’s impeachment.
Former Vice President Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmed has echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of accountability in governance. Despite the accusations, President Muizzu has denied any wrongdoing, dismissing the allegations as politically motivated and baseless. With the elections looming, the outcome will likely influence the trajectory of these corruption allegations and their impact on President Muizzu’s tenure.
