Early life

Abdul Raheem Abdulla was born to Maryam Ahmed[6] on 19 April 1967 in Fonadhoo.[7]

He was exiled as punishment of a crime during the presidency of Maumoon Abdul Gayoom for stealing corrugated roofing sheets from the State Trading Organisation and became known as "Tinu Adhurey".[8][9]

Career

Abdul Raheem was elected to the 17th People's Majlis in 2009 representing the People's Alliance party (PA), headed by ex-President Abdulla Yameen.[10][11] In 2014, he was reelected representing the Progressive Party of Maldives in Fonadhoo in the 18th People's Majlis,[12] and was nominated as the party's candidate for Deputy Speaker, but lost to Reeko Moosa Manik.[13]

He was appointed Vice President of PPM after losing an election for the same.[14] Abdul Raheem was of the founding members of the People's National Congress (PNC),[15] of which he later became the chairperson.[5] On 17 November 2023, he was appointed as the Special Advisor to the President.[3] He was elected as the Speaker of the People's Majlis on 28 May 2024.[2]

Controversies and Gaffes

Abdul Raheem was embroiled in a controversy after he referred to the former Former President of Maldives Mohamed Nasheed as a "Jew" and a "Munafiq of proportions hereto unseen in the country".[16][17]

He was widely derided for claiming at a campaign event during the 2018 Maldivian presidential election that it was attended by 200,000 people "because 50 multiplied by 4 is 200,000", and has been subsequently known has "Hisaabu Soa" or "Mathematics teacher", with grossly incorrect sums popularly referred to as "Adhureymatics".[18]
