Tifariti (liberated territories, Western Sahara) Mohamed Abdelaziz has been extensively re-elected Secretary General of the Polisario Front on Thursday for 85% of the 1,403 ballots validated, according to results announced in plenary meeting, to applause from the delegates.
outgoing Secretary General was the only candidate pair that position, since none of the more than 1,700 delegates have been submitted for replacement, although all were entitled to do so.
Mohamed Abdelaziz had asked in his speech on Monday before the Congress to enshrine the principle of alternation, approving an amendment of internal regulations of the Polisario, so that the primary responsibility of the movement can not keep more than one term, non-renewable.
This proposal has been rejected by members of Congress who have said the Polisario Front is primarily a national liberation movement, whose priority is the liberation of the country from the hands of Moroccan settlers.
