Campaign offices of the Maldivian Democratic Party’s candidate for the Galolhu South constituency in the capital were vandalised in the early hours of Friday.
“After stealing billboards, destroying banners and sending constant death threats tonight, they have finally attacked our campaign office in Galolhu Dhekunu,” Mickail Naseem tweeted.
“This happened while we were with the police showing them the damaged banners on Rehen’dhi Hin’gun.”
The windows of a second campaign office were smashed later on Friday morning. A video of a man on a motorbike throwing a stone has since emerged on social media.
