Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom accused President Dr Mohamed Muizzu's administration of selling ministerial positions, including the Foreign Minister post, for US$1 million. Speaking at a People's National Front (PNF) rally, Yameen claimed Speaker Abdul Raheem Abdulla orchestrated the sales, with offices set up at Stelco.
