Reports: Mutual ‘Blame Shifting’ among Parties, All ‘Secretly’ Wanting Polls Postponed
The majority of the political blocs “secretly prefer postponing the parliamentary elections,” sources said, but have no “courage” to say it.
Political circles told al-Joumhouria newspaper, in remarks published Friday, that “there is fear for the fate of the parliamentary elections,” since every party is “shifting the blame on the other,” in order to delay the polls.
The sources revealed that Parliament members from different blocs, behind closed doors, are not keen on holding the elections on time.
“Political and security development may occur with the elections date nearing,” the sources added, and can be used “as a pretext to adjourn the polls,” unless parties are “compelled to hold the elections for internal and external considerations.”
