In a rare, uninhibited statement, President of the Elections Commission Fuad Thaufeeq has alleged that Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), which he has always felt an affinity for, had earlier tried to dismiss him from his position and unceremoniously discard him.
A number of members of the Elections Commission had attempted to remove Fuad from his position during a difference of opinion that arose at the time when former President Mohamed Nasheed left MDP and created his breakaway party, The Democrats.
