President Mohamed Muizzu has unveiled a reconstituted Cabinet, appointing a new team of ministers during a ceremony held this evening at the President’s Office.
The reshuffle comes just hours after 10 ministers stepped down earlier in the day, in what officials described as a move aimed at enabling governance reforms.

The newly appointed ministers and their portfolios are as follows:
- Moosa Zameer – Minister of Finance and Public Enterprise

- Abdulla Rafiu – Minister of Youth Empowerment, Sports and Fitness
- Heena Waleed – Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage

- Ali Shareef – Minister of Climate Change, Environment and Energy
Oath-Taking Ceremony
The swearing-in ceremony was overseen by Chief Justice Abdul Ghanee Mohamed, who administered the oath of office to the newly appointed ministers. Following the ceremony, each minister formally signed their oath declarations, marking the official start of their duties.
Cabinet Composition
The restructured Cabinet will consist of 15 members, including the 12 ministers appointed during the ceremony, alongside the Attorney General and two additional ministers.
Officials say the changes are part of broader efforts to strengthen governance and improve administrative efficiency, following the earlier resignations.
