Outlook for 2011-12: Election watch

The parliamentary election has already been postponed from 2009, and we do not expect a new date for a parliamentary poll to be set until Mr Saleh's future is resolved. Given the likelihood that Mr Saleh will relinquish power before the end of this year, it is increasingly probable that both parliamentary and presidential elections will occur in the outlook period. (At present, the next presidential poll is not scheduled until 2013.)
