His first Prime minister was Ehgamugey Ibraahim Ali Didi (later Ibraahim Faamuladheyri Kilegefaan). On December 11, 1957, the prime minister was forced to resign and Velaanagey Ibraahim Nasir was elected as the new prime minister the following day.
On November 15, 1967 a vote was taken in parliament to decide whether Maldives should have a monarchy or a republic. Of the 44 parliamentarians, 40 voted in favor of a republic. On March 15, 1968, a referendum was held on and 93.34% of the people voted in favor of establishing a republic.[citation needed] The republic was declared on November 11, 1968 and thus ending the 853 year old Monarchy.[citation needed]
