The headquarters of MDP was vandalized after violence ensued at the Elections Commission on Tuesday after supporters from MDP and the opposition coalition clashed at the elections office.
They clashed after opposition supports made their way to the elections headquarters after reports suggesting that the MDP leadership were seeking to unseal some of the ballot boxes after calling for a vote recount.
The elections Commission accused the opposition of instigating violence on Tuesday while it denied these accusations and said that the presence of the Speaker of the Parliament Mohamed Nasheed disrupted the peace on that day.
