Fatah: Gazan delegates to vote Saturday; Dahlan nominated for CC seat
Ma'an - Moments after the Fatah Central Committee announced Gazan delegates could vote in the Saturday elections Mohammad Dahlan nominated himself for a spot on the Central Committee.

His nomination came almost one day after most of the nominations were already in. The old-guard Fatah strongman originally from Gaza but living in the West Bank since 2007 is a current member of the Central Committee. He said he could only nominate himself for a role once the issue over Gazan delegates' votes was resolved.

Mid-Friday the Central Council met and decided the Gazan delegates would in fact be able to vote in the leadership elections. The delegates will vote by mobile phone on Sunday, in the presence of all other attendees in the Gaza headquarters.

Dahlan said he put forward his nomination to prevent any protests from other corners in Fatah, though no protests have yet been voiced. Ibrahim Abu An-Najja, another Gazan delegate in the West Bank since 2007, welcomed the idea of holding the elections simultaneously those held in Bethlehem; they are scheduled for Saturday.

Abu An-Najja said he demanded the leadership find a formula that would enable Fatah delegates from Gaza to participate.
