Azleen Ahmed’s political journey has seen him serve as the Home Minister during former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom’s administration. 

However, following Yameen’s re-election defeat in 2018, Azleen left the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) and subsequently joined the Jumhoory Party in 2019.
