Palestinian local elections might give a small boost to FatahAMMAN: Saturday’s Palestinian local council elections produced a much higher turnout than they did in 2017, according to the head of the Elections Commission Hanna Naser. Local elections for the major cities in A and B areas are scheduled to be held on March 26, 2022. Independent lists (mostly family/tribal oriented) won 71 percent of the vote, while party lists won 29 percent, he said. In the 2017 elections, only 53 percent of the electorate voted in local council elections.
