Almotamar.net - Acting Assistant Secretary General of the General People's Congress (GPC) Abdulrahman al-Akwaa emphasized keenness of the GPC on the existence of clean electoral register free from flaws and violations. He said, '" We at the GPC have strong keenness of a clean and pure electoral register."

Al-Akwaa added, in the opening of the training courses of for leaderships of the GPC branches in the capital and governorates, constituencies and organisational centres on Wednesday, any flaws in the electoral register will be reflected on credibility of the democratic experiment and the reality of the existing contest. He also stressed on members and cadres of the GPC their keenness on embodiment of the GPC convictions by making a sound electoral register free from any gaps or suspicions, "and this is your responsibility through what you conduct of real enlightenment springing from your convictions for the respect of the constitution and the law."

Mr al-Akwaa also affirmed the importance of the role played leaderships and cadres of the GPC in the governorates in preventing the register of any person lacking the legal conditions. He called the attention that there are some forces that transfer groups from other constituencies and that is what "we want to prevent besides the omission of the dead and those registered in elections registers while they are not from the constituency , even if the omission is in favour of others ."

"We in the GPC want to compete with efficiency and honesty and to plant this behaviour with others when we believe in it as authority and opposition. Thus we would have reached to the safe side and held the reins of the initiative and managed to replace the weapon of the different weapons by the weapon of constitution and the law, " al-Akwaa added, calling on leaderships and members of the GPC to enhance behaviors of democracy and to confirm and stabilize them in life and the society and to be changed into a civilised behaviour.

He said he who does not want democracy and political pluralism and the peaceful transfer of power he in fact does not want this register to be clean and does not want success of the democratic experiment. He does not want free and honest contest.

Mr al-Akwaa said Yemen has lived for hundreds of years bloody conflict and backwardness and poverty and diseases as a result of the conflict for power under many concepts and different visions and convictions and with democracy " we want to embody and stabiles the concepts of peaceful transfer of power via the ballot boxes and by correct competition mechanism . "

He has also touched on the dialogues conducted with political parties and forces since the first elections in 1993 and the GPC has been keen to meet requirements of the opposition parties by approval of the elections law according to visions of the opposition parties as well as the question of forming the Supreme commission for Elections, " but you notice that the law is in one direction and what is carried out in another one." He clarified that the law of elections and referendum stipulates that the elections commission should be from specialised technicians and the independent and those affiliated to parties must leave their affiliations but it was not implemented as a result of insistence of the opposition Joint Meeting Parties on sharing power outside the constitution and the law.

Al-Akwaa said after the presidential elections, "We entered in dialogue according to an agreed on agenda and visions besides recommendations of the European Union with the JMP for more than one year but the final result was their saying ' we want to share power'" he stressed readiness of the GPC to respond and demands in the frame of the constitution and the law and despite of that the GPC accepted to proceed in the dialogue according to proposals of the GPC concerning amendment of the election law. He said," We welcome the dialogue as political parties and committed to the constitution and the law but a dialogue outside the legitimacy of the constitution and the law and different authorities is rejected."
