President Dr Mohamed Muizzu led official tributes today, extending warm greetings to the Maldivian public to commemorate the historic transition from monarchy to republican governance. In recognition of the national milestone, President Muizzu has declared both November 11 and 12 as official public holidays.

Republic Day is observed annually on November 11 to mark the abolition of centuries-old monarchical rule and the birth of the Second Republic in 1968 under its first president, Ibrahim Nasir. 

The nation had previously declared its First Republic on January 1, 1953, under President Mohamed Amin Didi, before briefly reverting to a sultanate. Representing the most consequential transformation in the country’s governance, Wednesday’s observance marks 58 years since the founding of the modern republic.
