A'arif Abu Hatim - SANAA, almotamar.net- Head of the Information Sector of the Supreme Commission for Elections and Referendum (SCER), Abdeh al-Janadi described what the JMP media publishes about leakage of the presidential candidate Bin Shamlan’s platform as “irresponsible and more than iniquitous.”

In his statement to almotamar.net Saturday Mr. al-Janadi said this talk is irresponsible and a more than unjust accusation in addition to its being a wrong belief that Bin Shamlan’s electoral public statement of principles has contained perfection to be stolen by others.
Head of the SCER information sector added the problems of Yemen are one and their peculiarities are known for all and it is normal to have a kind of similarity to happen in some phrases and paragraphs. It is rather logical to see identicalness to happen and that is a result of candidates’ focusing on the same issue.
Al-Janadi wondered about tat similarity and identicalness and queried if that means each party has the right to accuse the other, and why the accusation should not come on part of the GPC’s candidate of the JMP of taking some paragraphs of his platform? It is especially given that the SCER has become balanced in its composition of the two parties. He added that the one who leaked the piece of information to the JMP is liar and hypocrite intending to create a problem out of nothingness; otherwise he would have revealed his identity. Al-Janadi also considered what the news dealt wit is an accusation unacceptable by reason and logic, “It is a call that is not new. Some members in the GPC said the JMP has stolen their ideas when it issued the initiative of the comprehensive national and political reform, whereas the JMP replied that the GPC stole the more beautiful of what was contained in its initiative and included them in GPC’s closing statement of its 7th conference.” He has made it clear that we are presently experiencing a different reality. The elections are based on transparency, freedom and fairness and no party can accuse the other of rigging the results because it is a partner in percentage approaching the half in managing the election process and this extends from sub-committees to the main and through the supervising committees to the SCET. The other party is also partner in the monitoring agreed on in the agreement of principles that will be at the expense of the state: a monitor of men and a monitor of women equally in every polling station, both from the GPC and the JMP, in addition to voluntary watching by civil society organizations.”
The SCER official affirmed whatever mentioned in the agreement of principles is being applied, including impartiality of the official media, he military and security establishment, the public service and non-participation of local authorities in the electoral propaganda for any party and there is equality among the candidates and political parties in reading the platforms and transmission and publication of their daily speeches addressed in their festivals.
