Hussein al-Sheikh, a member of the Fatah Central Committee and the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) “civil affairs minister”, said on Tuesday that the PA election committee is still holding discussions, and once that process is over, "President" Mahmoud Abbas will set the date for the parliamentary and presidential elections.
Writing on Twitter, al-Sheikh said that the only candidate of the Fatah movement in the presidential election will be the 84-year-old Abbas.
