KUWAIT CITY — A Kuwaiti pressure group called yesterday for international monitors to be allowed to check on the fairness of next month’s parliamentary elections and vowed to do all it could itself to prevent any violations. “We have called on the government to seek international official monitors for the elections and also to allow us to seek the help of international non-governmental organiszations,” Anwar Al Rasheed, head of the Kuwaiti Committee for Election Monitoring (Nazaha), said. Nazaha was formed by Kuwaiti campaign groups to ensure fair and fraud-free elections amid allegations of wide-spread irregularities. I don't think Jimmy Carter is doing anything that weekend, oh wait! You said you wanted a fraud-free election? Never mind... |
