Maldives President Holds Record 15-hour Press Conference

Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu addressed a press conference for nearly 15 hours, his office said on Sunday, claiming it broke a previous record held by Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky. Muizzu, 46, began the marathon press conference at 10:00 am (0500 GMT) on Saturday, and it continued for



14 hours and 54 minutes with brief pauses for prayers, his office said in a statement. 

“The conference extended past midnight -- a new world record by a president -- with President Muizzu continuously responding to questions from journalists,” the statement said.
