The post became vacant after previous Prosecutor General Hussain Shameem resigned from his post after the parliament moved to dismiss him from the post.

A motion was submitted to the Parliament seeking his dismissal with several accusations made against the former PG.

Shameem said at his last press conference that these accusations were nothing new and that this was not an issue of him being unable to perform his professional duties.

Shameem was appointed as the PG during last administration's regime.
