A Video of the Thimarafushi vote scam
You are about to watch a video of one of the disruptions to vote counting on Thimarafushi Island.
Please observe the actions of the man with the ID tag hanging from his neck, leaning against the wall on the far side of the tent. His name is Mohamed Shareef (aka Korube’) of Athamaa-Aage’, Thimarafushi. He was MDP candidate Mohamed Mustafa's campaign manager on the prior to being appointed the Elections Commission’s Complaint Officer. He was witnessed campaigning furiously for Mustafa in several campaign rallies just before he was appointed to this post. In this video Shareef is seen acting outside his mandate (he was only supposed to receive & investigate election complaints, but instead simply took over the duties of Foshi Veriya from the 19-year old Asad Ibrahim Pink House / Th. Thimarafushi).
Just as the Elections Staff are about to pour out ballot papers from the Box for counting, Shareef limps across and takes a book on a table near the activity, and walks back to where he was standing. As pre-arranged, MDP thugs rush into the counting area, and Shareef quickly limps across to the table where the ballots papers are, and pushes the book he has in his hand into the lot, shouting, “put the ballot papers back into the box”.
You will observe the book is back in Shareef’s hand after the commotion is controlled.
According to witnesses (their names are not disclosed on their request) privy to this arrangement the book had a number (they estimate at least 50 - 75) of ballot papers in it. And in the commotion while removing the book these ballot papers were poured into the Ballot Box. The Ballots were done in the names of people who hadn’t voted on the day.

Dear Readers. Even at this very moment in the ongoing Majlis session MDP member Ahmed Hamza (3A Hamza)is claiming the Thimarafushi seat in Majlis for his party. Have these people (MDP leadership)lost their sanity ?

My advice to all Maldivians who want a peaceful future for your Country.
ERASE MDP FROM THE MALDIVIAN SOIL FOREVER.

Come on you guys ! Now the damage has been done, and the people of Maldives has to pay their prize.
Wasn't it what you wanted ? A CHANGE ? Now its here , so taste it .
Since when had we ever been conten with our leaders? Well , I dont remember - except for (rare and few) miraculous, and mythical anecdotes - like , Boduthakurufaanu. Apart from that, most of our kings and queens were either frauds, gays or serial killers.
Much later, we had a problem with our first elected president - Amin - and so we killed him. The next , bordered a flight and never returned. The final, and the former - the notorious Golhaboa - with his unique master plan of the century, had almost had the last laugh ; until we demanded a change.
So ! We wait, and let Anni together with MDP, manages to work out their strategy in completely annihilating the fomer regime.

4.08,
That's your grand plan for rescuing the Maldives from its descent back into savagery?? We wait! Did you have to stay up all night thinking up this one? Surely your head must hurt after all that thinking? Poor baby, please take a rest from all that hard work and go have that spliff with the rest of your ganja friends, all the while thinking of your buddy Ganjabo stoned out inside the palace.

hahahahaha! Good one, 7.04!
June 8, 2009 11:08 PM
Bloody vote rigging bastards ! To hell with you lot !
June 8, 2009 11:43 PM
doesnt show anything suspicious of vote rigging...i think court can safely judge the election was fair from this video evidence included!!
June 9, 2009 12:37 AM
Now I'm convinced Siraj at Elections Commission is trying to hide something. They brazenly appointed Mustafa's campaign manager as one of the votebox officials. Were they blind? Or did they only follow orders, as otherwise President Nasheed would have carried out his threat to show his ruthlessness? Where is the long arm of the law now?
June 9, 2009 5:47 AM
Are we surprised? MDP (Marijuana Dhamaa Party -translated: Marijuana Smoking Party)wouldn't know any other modus-operandi. Naturally, all party members, like their President Ganjabo, are high 24/7.
June 9, 2009 10:33 AM
So this is the way MDP obtains their votes; only timely action from Gassan's campaign team prevented this despicable subversion of the will of the people in Thimarafushi dhaariaa from succeeding like so many others. Saabe obviously did an excellent job with Eva, Mariya and Reeko's dhaairaas, but he must not have been very thorough in Mustafa's case since Mustafa had to take matters into his own (or rather, his campaign manager's) hands. This explains MDP's so-called "successes" at the ballot box.
June 9, 2009 11:16 AM
Hey you know Saabe was at Nasandhura while votes were being tallied. We all had to take our vaguthee natheeja sheets to him for "correction" first. When a group of us asked what Saabe was doing there, Siraj threatened to fire us immediately if we didn't do as Saabe said... Free and fair elections my foot!
June 9, 2009 12:05 PM
Of course Saabe would have power over Elections Commission still! Most of the people there were given their jobs by Saabe specifically for the purpose of helping MDP win the Presidential Elections.

Why didn't Elections Commission ask Prosecuter General to charge these guys? For that matter, why didn't the PG himself do it? He or his subordinates must have been aware of this surely. Huh, these supposedly independent institutions are all rotten to the core. Who can the voters trust anymore?
June 11, 2009 2:47 AM
These rotten institutions were from Golhaa Age..Anyway... this incident is a premeditated attempt to undermine the constitution and the ballot box needs to be redone..... That doesn't mean that 30 years of dictatorship is legitimate....

June 11, 2009 2:53 PM
Dear opinions,
You guys are so quick off the mark to say 30 years... You know, no matter how many times you chant your mantra, that doesn't mean it's true, does it? If you open your eyes, you'll see how a real dictatorship works! Anyway, whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.
June 12, 2009 11:25 AM
Well well. Looks like ol' Ganjabo has been humbled by the judiciary. Anyone remember his scream just beofre the election: "vara saadhaa gothakah Mustafa e gondeega baindhaanan!"? Kekeke. Poor BM Ganjabo. Looks like the High Court judges will now have to be careful that Anni's secret police don't conveniently "find" evidence of something, anything that will smear their reputations and give BM Ganjabo an excuse to arrest them "kuda hindhukolhakah kuda vaguthukolhakah, kuda mudhdhathakah"
