By: Jamil Al-Jadabi - SANA�A, almotamar.net- �I don�t know about any suggestions or agreements between the Joint Meeting Parties (JMP) and General People�s Congress (GPC) to support women in the presidential election,� said Rashida al-Qaili, a Yemeni female journalist.
Commenting on the JMP official spokesman, al-Qaili said it was the first time she heard his statements that the GPC refused an agreement to support women in the presidential elections. �I think if it was true, then the JMP or GPC would tell me about it,� she added.
�As an opposition member, I think the opposition�s stance towards women candidates is worse than that of the GPC. Unfortunately, when opposition parties have differences with the GPC, women�s rights become always the victim,� al-Qaili stated.
Al-Qaili refused to tell the experience of her candidacy to run for the presidential elections, justifying she has stances towards the JMP.
Moreover, al-Qaili called on other women with different political affiliations to stand united towards what has not been fulfilled by others to support women candidates in the local councils.
