However, Mr Nasheed's Maldives Democratic Party (MDP) has accused the opposition of staging a coup.

On April 13, the MDP, the GNP and a few other smaller parties will be vying for 273 seats in the National Assembly.
Analysts say the summit news did help the MDP win 2% more votes, affecting the results of four to six hotly contested races.

The MDP said a number of its members and government officials had been injured in overnight unrest, and said it feared for the safety of Mr Nasheed and senior members of his government.
And partly thanks to the Adreno 320 graphics core, the MDP even scored an astonishing 132fps in our GLBenchmark test, while the quad core Galaxy S III with Mali-400 graphics came second with 99fps, with the remaining devices lingering around 60fps only.
Considering the tightness of the race, it is unlikely that the MDP, which currently does not have a majority in the National Assembly, will attain it after the polls. (The MDP is forecast to win around 110 seats, the GNP about 120.) This means Kim will have to forge a new coalition if he is not to serve out the remaining three years as a lame-duck president.
