RAMALLAH, January 29, 2006 (WAFA - PLO news agency)- The Central Elections
Commission (CEC) announced Sunday the final results of the second PLC
elections.
.
The results released by CEC reads as follows: The list of Change and Reform
obtained 74 seats, the Fatah Movement obtained 45 seats, the list of the
Martyr Abu Ali Mustapha obtained 3 seats, the Alternative received 2 seats,
Independent Palestine received 2 seats, the Third Way received 2 seats, and
the Independents list obtained 4 seats.
.
These results represent a slight change in the preliminary results released
by the CEC at its press conference on January 26, which were based on only
95% of the count. The final results gave Fatah two extra seats - 1 in the
electoral lists and 1 in the district of Khan Younis.
.
The CEC said that any candidate or electoral list or one of their agents or
representatives can challenge these final results within a 2-day period from
the date of their official release according to Chapter 1/93 of Law no. 9 of
2005 on the general elections.
.
The CEC said that it verified today, in the presence of representatives of
the electoral lists, the protocols of the preliminary count. The CEC also
looked into the various complaints submitted to it, the respective responses
of the electoral districts and the extent of their legality.
.
The CEC also demonstrated the manner in which the protocols and data are
entered electronically, as well as the manner in which it deals with
complaints that it has received - all of which deal mainly with the
behaviour of candidates and their lack of respect of campaign regulations,
meaning that they have no implications on the results.
