Candidates vie to register for Palestinian elections
The registration process for the Palestinian legislative elections scheduled for November 28 has commenced, with widespread participation from parties and factions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Central Election Commission has received six candidacy applications: "Future Palestine Coalition," "Justice and Construction," "Unity and Democratic Change," "National Initiative," "A New Path," and "Work." Laws require that candidacies be submitted through electoral lists ranging from 16 to 132 candidates, with commitments to include women and youth. All applications are subject to review and scrutiny before the final announcement of the winning lists. The Democratic Front announced its list under the name "Unity and Democratic Change," while the Popular Struggle Front registered a list called "Future Palestine Coalition," which includes 114 candidates, with 40% women and 33% youth representation. The list is led by Mustafa Barghouti of the National Initiative. The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization emphasizes the necessity of holding elections across the entire Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, simultaneously, to strengthen the unity of the electoral process.
