Gayoom launched blistering attacks on his opponent's credibility, pointing to his lack of experience and claiming he was trying to convert Maldivians to Christianity - a weighty accusation in this staunchly Sunni Muslim state. But with all the opposition factions united behind him, Nasheed turned his deficit from the first vote into a significant majority and completed his rise from prison to the halls...
