Article
Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik (Dhivehi: މުޙައްމަދު ވަޙީދު ޙަސަން މަނިކު; born 3 January 1953) is a Maldivian politician who served as the fifth president of the Maldives from 7 February 2012 to 17 November 2013, having previously served as vice president from 2008 to 2012. He assumed the presidency following the resignation of President Mohamed Nasheed.
During 2013, he ran for president but received about five percent of the vote in the first round. Following court‑ordered reruns and delays, he remained in office until the inauguration of Abdulla Yameen on 17 November 2013. In May 2025, President Mohamed Muizzu appointed Waheed as Special Envoy of the President until his resignation in February 2026 due to his links with Jeffrey Epstein.
