Explanation:

Maldives is in a state of upheaval, politically. Maldives has been a British colony when it got its independence in 1965. The incumbent president is Abdulla Yameen and not Muamoon Abdul Gayoom. However, Muamoon Abdul Gayoom has been the longest serving President of Maldives. Hence, neither of the statements are correct.
