Tensions between India and Maldives increased after Muizzuna became President Tensions between the two countries rose after Muizzzu assumed power in November 2023. Muizzu was demanding the withdrawal of Indian troops from Maldives even before he became President. Muizzou, 45, defeated pro-India candidate Mohammad Solih in the election.

Muizzoo said that if India does not withdraw its army, it will be an affront to the democratic freedom of the Maldivian people.

The presence of another country's army in the country without the approval of the Parliament is against the constitution.
