Amin Didi did not just hold power for seven months. He ruled the nation for ten years. Many people mistakenly think that Amin Didi ruled from January 1, 1953, to August 21, 1953, however that was merely the period during which he served as president. He presided over the Maldivian government in accordance with the constitution in a variety of roles from April 7, 1943, to his ouster on August 21, 1953, including Interior Minister, Prime Minister, Waliyul Amr (the Supreme Leader), and President.
