Muad Mohamed Zaki (born 7 April 1982) is from a prominent political and business family in the Maldives. He migrated to Malaysia with his family in the 1990s after political turmoil in the Maldives that temporarily drove out large private business owners from the country. His father Dato' Mohamed Zaki is a highly respected figure in the Maldives by Presidents and other political figures. The family owns a well-known multinational firm named Nazaki Group of Companies which pioneered international trade between Malaysia and Maldives.

Muad began his political activism through his studies on socialism while in the United Kingdom. He was one of the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party members on the streets of Maldives among the hundreds that were brutally cracked down upon by the National Security Service (NSS) during an anti-government demonstration in the Maldives. The demonstration was later known as Black Friday for the people of Maldives.

He suffered multiple injury and blood loss from the incident. Later the European Union sent in a fact finding mission to assess the steps to be taken.

The Maldivian Democratic Party proceeded to win the Presidential elections in 2008 with the help of other parties, creating a coalition government for the first time in the country's history. After the change in government, Muad continued promoting freedom for Palestinians and peace for victims of war through social media campaigns with other online peace activists.

His profession and expertise are derived from a number of different fields. He is educated in International Relations & Security in the United Kingdom, a certified E-Commerce consultant and has over 12 years of experience in the International Shipping & Trading industry based in Malaysia, as well as over five years experience in the International Tourism sector. He is also seen as an Economist and Strategic Analyst on world affairs. His experience and knowledge has helped him gain popularity.

At the end of 2011, he left the Maldivian Democratic Party due to disagreements with what he saw as increased authoritarian policies by President Mohamed Nasheed and his close advisers. In the early year of 2012, Muad went on to join the coalition opposition movement to Defend Islam in the Maldives, countering the President's increasing support to introduce a multi-religious society in the 100% Muslim populated nation. The opposition coalition movement was clamped down by the police with orders from the Government which created scuffles between protesters and police forces. As the opposition protest daily grew larger and along with the decision by the country's chief criminal court judge to not accept cases where individuals were arrested without a warrant or reasonable reason, President Nasheed ordered the special forces to arrest the chief judge indefinitely. Social networks played an important part in mobilizing support against President Nasheed. On 7 February 2012, the Maldives President Nasheed stepped down on a live state-run media, after the police and military joined the protesters and demanded his resignation.

Muad is also the current International Coordinator for an NGO called Maldives Unity Association (MUA) which works to assist in the development of local communities.

During the 2013 Presidential Elections, Muad had endorsed two candidates, one from the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) and the other from Jumhooree Party (JP); where both parties openly supported a government ruled by a coalition that represented all sides of Maldives society. The presidential election went in favor of Abdulla Yameen from the Progressive Party of Maldives.

Muad is the first politician and businessman from the Maldives to officially meet the political leadership of Hamas, Khaled Mashal and also the representative from the Muslim Brotherhood & former Member of first-time democratically elected Parliament in Egypt. His support for non-violent solutions to world conflicts under transparent democratic principles supported by International Law was well received by both figures.
