Almotamar.net - More than seven-thousand members of local councils allover the Yemeni provinces begin Saturday the election process of the capital mayor and governors of provinces in a first of its kind practice, in accordance with legal provisions and accurate organisationl regulation. The elections are aimed at expanding powers of the local rule, enhancement of decentralization and activation of the local authority role in Yemen.
Preliminary statistics indicate that committees supervising elections have on Friday provided 6666, out of 7495, local councils members with cards for practicing election of governors. These local council members that represent local councils in Yemen governorates and districts, constitute the Electoral College to elect governors.
With the conclusion of the polling process for the election of governors on Saturday the General People's Congress (GPC), the ruling party in Yemen, would have exceeded the final phase in a first experiment of the election of governors and achieving a new victory in enhancement of the principle of peaceful transfer of power as a major goal of the step of electing governors of provinces.
Despite of boycotting of the election of governors by the opposition Joint Meeting Parties (JMP) the step has received large-scale people's welcome and interaction, as results of these elections represent an importance connected to development in the local society.
Local and foreign organizations and media take part in observation of the elections and would oversee the process of the election of the capital mayor and governors of provinces and for facilitating their task they have been provided with necessary cards for hat purpose.
In 2007 the opposition Yemen Congregation for Reform (Islah) Islamic oriented Party maintained its having political and media sway over the Joint meeting Parties (JMP) block, also consisting of Yemen Socialist Party and the Nasserite Unionist Organisation.
Yemen is practically a cool green paradise, with crisp mountain air, enormous acacia trees, pristine coral reefs and verdant fields bursting with khat, a psychoactive plant that induces mild euphoria.
Sana'a: Yemen will not be able to combat terror without regional and international cooperation, said a Yemeni official, who warned of the ramifications of letting Yemen fight terrorism alone.
Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
