Divided Palestinians Hold Municipal Elections without Hamas
(Reuters) Jihan Abdalla - Palestinians in the West Bank go to the polls on Saturday in long-delayed municipal elections. Hamas is boycotting the election and preventing voting from taking place in Gaza, leaving the field largely clear for the Fatah party. Fatah could still lose what should have been an easy victory. It is being challenged by an array of independent candidates as well as well-known Fatah dissidents who failed to make the official party list.
