Abbas sets condition for candidate loyalty
The Palestinian Central Election Commission announced its approval of an amendment to the general election law, which includes reverting to the 2007 law with updates such as increasing the number of members of the Legislative Council to 132, reserving 33% for women on the lists, lowering the candidacy age to 23, and maintaining the condition that candidates must adhere to the Palestine Liberation Organization as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. The amendments also contain technical clarifications regarding nomination procedures, voting results, and the organization of nomination and appeal processes. Additionally, they expand the Commission’s authority to oversee the election process. The registration of voters will begin in the field on August 15 in preparation for the elections scheduled for November 28, 2026.
