About Ibrahim Muhammad Didi

Lived 1901 – 1981 (aged 80). Ibrahim Muhammad Didi was a politician.

Ibrahim Muhammad Didi (; March 20, 1902 – October 6, 1981), also known as Velaanaagey Ibrahim Didi, was a Maldivian politician who served as the Vice President of Maldives from January 1, 1953 to September 2, 1953. He served as the acting president of the Maldives from September 2, 1953 to March 7, 1954, after the banishment of Mohamed Amin Didi. While people demanded him to be president on terms that the vacancy of the office of the President leads to the succession of the vice president to the presidency. He was the first person to serve as Vice President as well as Acting President in the Maldives.

In a report, it was found that Didi along with Ibrahim Nasir, Mohamed Zaki, and Ibrahim Zaki planned and succeeded to overthrow Mohamed Amin Didi as President. They both planned to overthrow Amin due to disagreement of his use of state funds. Amin secretly entered Malé and tried to establish order but no member in the Army listened to his commands and they and the Maldivian people beat Amin up.

Didi also served other ministerial positions such as Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of the Capital and Minister of Agriculture, and a member of the Senate of the Maldives elected by the Maldivian House of Representatives.
