Adam Shareef resigned from the Cabinet in April as part of a government reshuffle. The government has since nominated him for appointment as the Maldives' Ambassador to Qatar, with the matter currently before Parliament for consideration.
During the early period of the current administration, Zeenaz also served as Secretary General of the ruling People's National Congress (PNC).
