After graduating in 2018, he started work as the Corporate Affairs Manager and as a Non-Executive Director to the Board at South Palm Maldives Pvt Ltd.
Sharif stepped into the national spotlight in 2012 as a young academic individual expressing the emerging concerns on the political turmoil[1] of the nation and how badly it was affecting the nation.
On 10 July 2015, he became the third Media Coordinator at the President's of the Maldives under the administration of President Abdulla Yameen.[2]
On 19 August 2015, it was announced that Sharif had been sacked from his post after making statements vowing to confront the defence President Ahmed Adeeb in defence of President Abdulla Yameen.[3] The leaked audio clip unleashed the uncertainty within the government and deteriorating relations between President Yameen and Vice President Adeeb. Sharif mentioned in the audio clip [4] “I will confront anyone who criticizes President Yameen, you cannot tell me who I should confront. I have no problem confronting even the Vice President for President Yameen,” Sharif is heard saying in an audio clip posted by the opposition-aligned Raajje TV.
Political career
editAfter the controversial resignation of President Mohamed Nasheed on 7 February 2012, Sharif entered the political arena as a young individual rising voice and in allegiance of President Mohamed Nasheed who was actively part of the protests. After Abdulla Yameen was sworn in as President of Maldives, on 17 November 2013, Sharif Mohamed was appointed as Media Coordinator at the President's Office on 10 July 2015[5].
On 24 October 2016, Sharif urged President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom to hand over PPM to President Yameen[6] in support to the court ruling to hand over Progress Party of Maldives leadership to his half-brother and Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom[7]. Sharif also highlighted the importance of the subsidy implementation of food staple and how it will benefit for the people in the statement[6].
