While a total of 3,500 individuals have been invited to the forthcoming event, plans are being finalised to extend invitations to 1,000 members of the public. 

Contingency plans are also in place in the event of adverse weather conditions, with arrangements made to shift the ceremony to the Parliament premises if necessary.

The responsibility for orchestrating this event has been entrusted to the Sifainge Wellfare Company (SIWEC), which has been allocated a budget of MVR 22.9 million for the planning and execution of the ceremony. 

Presently, SIWEC is in the process of closing Republic Square and making necessary arrangements for the impending ceremony.
