--Vladimir Pran, IFES chief of party in the West Bank/Gaza, has issued this comment on the Palestinian Central Elections Commission (CEC)’s announcement that they will not be able to hold the January 2010 presidential and legislative elections:

Yet, it was a responsible conclusion since Hamas banned the CEC’s activities in Gaza, making it impossible to fulfill certain necessary preconditions to conduct legitimate elections, such as creating a voter registry.”Read More
