Mohamed Waheed - President of the Maldives

The Maldives was plunged into political crisis when the former president Mohamed Nasheed resigned, claiming to have been forced out of his position.

He was succeeded by his former vice president - Mohamed Waheed - who denies allegations of taking part in a coup.
