GPC Will Nominate Saleh for 2006 Elections
my my, that didnt take long…..
Saleh says he wont run, like he said three times before he ran, so the announcement may be a ploy. His ruling party seems rather determined to keep him in office (and themselves in power.)
20/7/2005 Hadi says president Saleh still PGC candidate for upcoming presidential polls
Al-Sahwa net- The Yemeni vice president Abdraboo Mansor Hadi on Monday affirmed that the PGC was still committed to the nomination of president Saleh in the upcoming presidential elections slated for September, 2006. Speaking at an inauguration ceremony of the summer educational centers organized by the Ministry of Endowments, Hadi said “ the PGC would announce the candidature of president Saleh in the forthcoming presidential elections during its sixth conference scheduled to be held next November”.
Also this very good bit of advice: Mohammed Qahtan, chairman of Islah political department,in press statement to Al-Sahwa net, urged the opposition parties to consider the president’s decision and adopt a unified national vision in this regard. (Actually my new favorite book, Building Democracy in Yemen, gives the same advice to the opposition as well as the womens’ movement, 43% of the registered electorate is women.)
