Palestinian legislative election postponed, possibly to 2027

Reported by 1 outlet · under-reported · first reported Oct 8, 8:00 PM ET

Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh said the legislative vote planned for November 28 will be delayed, possibly until September 2027, alongside the already postponed presidential election. He cited worsening conditions across Palestinian territories.

Why it matters

The delay prolongs a long absence of national elections for Palestinians amid regional war.

Background

Palestinians last held legislative elections in 2006, won by Hamas, which led to a split between Hamas in Gaza and the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Planned elections have been postponed repeatedly since.
