Post-Election Report on the 2006 Presidential and Local Council Elections in Yemen
The 2006 elections were the most complex ever held in Yemen. For the first time, elections for the presidency, for the governorate councils and for the councils of the local administrative districts were held on the same day. This created significant logistical and voter education issues for the Supreme Commission for Elections and Referendum (SCER). Also for the first time, the presidential candidate of the GPC, incumbent President Ali Abdullah Saleh, faced a credible opponent, Faisal Bin Shamlan, a former Minister of Oil who had been endorsed by the JMP. The elections were held in a political climate characterized by high levels of distrust of the SCER by the JMP, which appears to have decided to take a hard line in its dealings with the SCER. Although the SCER did make some sporadic efforts to promote a dialogue with the JMP, these attempts were not productive. The challenges for the SCER in 2006 were (1) to maintain the technical gains made in 2003 for a much more complex electoral process; and (2) to demonstrate that it had made progress in establishing itself as a more independent and impartial election management body that is able and willing to assert its statutory authority in the interests of a free and fair democratic electoral process.
