Voters cast ballots for municipal elections in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where local dynamics are a game changer, following a long delay
It was the second phase of municipal polls after the first round of voting last year December in 154 West Bank villages
Of the 102 localities, only 50 saw more than one electoral list compete, according to the Central Elections Commission. Municipal elections were last held in 2017. The elections commission said 377,895 people voted, or 52.82 percent of those eligible. Official results are expected on Sunday. The commission is widely respected for being professional and impartial.
Hamas won by a landslide in the last parliamentary elections, held in 2006. That exacerbated a long-running rivalry with Fatah, leading to a week of heavy fighting in Gaza that left Hamas in control of the territory. The two sides have been unable to agree on holding elections since then, and Abbas remained in power after his presidential term expired in 2009.
