| Elections Commission quits in disgust |
| 2002-05-23 |
| The five members of the Palestinians' Central Elections Committee submitted their resignations to Arafat after the Palestinian leader failed, despite repeated promises, to set a date for new elections, an official close to the panel said. There was no immediate comment from Arafat's office. Late Wednesday, Arafat met with the head of the elections committee, Mahmoud Abbas. When elections finally do take place, it might literally be over Yasser's dead body. |
