Vice President of Maldives Faisal Naseem has moved in to Official Residence of the Vice President. The vice president and his family moved to Hilaaleege after extensive renovations were conducted on the building.
Hilaaleege was made the official residence of the vice president by former President Mohamed Nasheed. In this regard, Dr. Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik lived in the residence during his term as the vice president and as the president, followed by Vice President Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmed. The vice presidents that followed, Ahmed Adeeb and Abdulla Jihad did not use the Official Residence of the Vice President.
However, President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom lived in Hilaaleege in the last 3 years of his presidency, while the Official Residence of the President, Muliaage, was utilised for use of Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM).
