Palestinian to the Polls

The pelestinians go to the polls today to elect 132 members of parliament.

This time round they have real choice; either Fatah or Hamas.

Fatah has ruled since 1996 elections during which Hamas boycott. But Fatah has been alleged to be corrupted, and thus Hamas promise to change that if they are elected to office.

What ever the outcome it is hoped that the election results will be accepted by all parties. (alang bidara - 25/1/2006)
