The Fatah movement kicked off its electoral campaign by calling on its supporters to reject the “defectors”, in its first clear and direct comment on the alliances made by current and former leaders in the movement.
Fatah member, Jibril Rajoub asserted that the movement is united, urging supporters to ignore the defectors, a reference to the electoral alliance between jailed leader Marwan al-Barghouti and Nasser al-Qidwa.
Barghouti is directly challenging the movement in his alliance with Qidwa on a list that doesn’t include him, amid speculation that he intends to run in the presidential elections against Palestinian President and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas.
