campaigning and policy development. His
election campaign was run by James McGrath, the former aide to the London mayor
Boris Johnson. David Cameron even telephoned Mr. Nasheed, to congratulate him
on his victory in 2008. [4]

Despite the several charges that were filed against Nasheed,
he was permitted to contest the Presidential Elections, against the laws and
regulations of Maldives. Under pressure from
the international community particularly Britain, Canada and neighboring India
the authorities manipulated the situation for confirm to foreign pressure. On numerous occasions Nasheed concealed his political
intensions with religious and medical motives to leave the country avoiding court
summons. Lastly and notably he avoided the law by
hiding himself in the Indian High Commission.
The Haveeru called it “refuge from the Law”[7]
MDP headed by Nasheed was good at smear campaigns. During the 2013 Presidential campaign, MDP
had a plan to win the election on the first round and called it “Eh Burun”. This was fiddly for the average person though
not for the intelligent. Disturbing facts
were revealed with the Supreme Court ruling to annul the first round of the
Elections of 2013. [8]

charges of deceit, fraud and enticement. Presidential Contender and Business
tycoon Gasim Ibrahim filed a case against the Commission following election for
fraud and enticement.

vocal. Commission president Fuad Thaufeeq
announced that the runoff would be held on Saturday despite the Supreme Court injunction[9]
