The venue chosen for this occasion is Republic Square. Muizzu had requested that the ceremony be held at this central location, allowing a broader section of the public to witness the event.

According to the Maldivian Constitution, the oath of office for the President and Vice President must be administered by the Chief Justice of the Maldives or a designated judge before they officially assume their roles.
