Allegations of domestic abuse by the parliament hopeful against his wife are being spread across social media.

The former President, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, weighed in on Twitter supporting MDP's decision to withdraw the support.

I applaud @MDPSecretariat for withdrawing support from an MDP candidate who is facing serious allegations of domestic violence. A very good decision.
