Maumoon Abdul gayoom is the son of Abdul Gayoom Ibrahim (Maafaiygey Seedhi Dhoni) and Khadheeja Moosa. His father had 25 children from 8 wives. Gayoom is the 10th child of his family. Maumoon Abdul Gayoom who was born on December 29, 1937 was described as a Dictator of the Maldives from 1978 to 2008 by most of the people of the country. After serving as Minister of Transport, he was nominated as President by the Majlis (Parliament) of the Maldives and succeeded Ibrahim Nasir on November 11, 1978. He eventually became the longest-ruling head of government in Asia. After 30 years in office, Gayoom was defeated in the October 2008 presidential election and was succeeded by the opposition leader, Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldivian Democratic Party on November 11, 2008 -- exactly 30 years to the day he first came to power. Gayoom also served as the leader of the Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party from 2005 to 2010. Remaining as the opposition leader from November 2008 onwards, in January 2010 Gayoom retired from active politics and was bestowed with the title of "Zaeem" (Honorary Leader) by the third congress of the DRP. Gayoom's tenure was marked by allegations of autocratic rule, human rights abuses and corruption, charges that he denies.Currently Gayyoom is the temporarily president of the newly formed political party PPM (Progressive Party of Maldives) which was formed by him after working as Z-DRP, a seperate faction of maumoon which was against current leader Ahmed Thasmeen Ali of DRP. Rumors are wide spreading which says that Maumoon will be the presidential candidate of PPM at the upcoming election 2013. This video report previews the reasons why we should not re-elect the former president at the presidential elections held at 2013
