Muizzu was later appointed as the Minister of Housing in 2012 and continued as Minister until 2018, Muizzu was the Mayor of Malé. As a member of the People's National Congress, he was nominated as the presidential candidate after former president Abdulla Yameen was jailed for serious corruption charges. He was chosen as his successor since Abdulla Yameen was ineligible to run for elections. He was the People's National Congress candidate for the 2023 presidential election, in which he defeated then-president Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.

Muizzu has received the position of leader of the PPM–PNC Coalition, as well as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces position in 2023, making Muizzu the first Maldivian President to hold the most positions in the Maldivian history. Furthermore, He served as the Senior Vice President of the Maldives Development Alliance from 2013 to 2018 and Deputy leader of Progressive Party of Maldives.

Muizzu has also focused on housing and structural development as well as the Government Policy and Legislative Reforms.
