Hamas on Tuesday marked the 10th anniversary of the legislative election it won in 2006 with a call for new parliamentary and presidential polls in the Palestinian Authority, AFP reports.
At a news conference, senior Hamas figures in Gaza called for "the announcement of a precise date for presidential and legislative elections."
First deputy speaker of parliament Ahmed Bahar said Hamas and rival Palestinian Authority factions should work to achieve reconciliation "and to close the gaps opened by years of political division."
