APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Ramallah - 31 March 2021. Barghouti’s wife Fadwa and Nasser Al-Qudwa arrive at the Palestinian Central Election Commission office at the Palestinian Central Election Commission office to register the party's official list for the upcoming parliamentary election in May, in the West Bank city of Ramallah

STORYLINE

Barghouti and Nasser Al-Qudwa - a nephew of the party’s late founder and figurehead Yasser Arafat - laid down a direct challenge to Fatah leader President Mahmoud Abbas by registering their own list which they called “Freedom”.

The breakaway group was headed by Qudwa and Barghouti’s wife Fadwa, who both arrived at the Central Election Commission headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah an hour ahead of the midnight registration deadline.

But Barghouti, 61, was not among the names - fuelling speculation that he may be preparing to run against Abbas - who is 85 and in poor health - in a presidential election in July.

Hani al-Masri, a candidate on the new slate, said the aim of Qudwa and “brother and leader” Barghouti was “to bring about the change that the Palestinian people need.”
