The Buckingham Palace announced King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer and has subsequently commenced treatment in early February.

The Palace, in their statement, said the King, although would refrain from public appearances during the course of his treatment, will nevertheless be carrying out his official duties.

King Charles acceded to the throne on September 8, 2022, upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. His coronation was held almost eight months later, on May 6th of last year.

Nasheed announced a hiatus from political work on December 12th of last year to assume his new post as the secretary general of CVF.

He relocated to Ghana on January 30th to carry out his responsibilities as the secretary general. Nevertheless, Nasheed remains a member of the parliament.
