It is possible, however, that these rivalries will be somewhat ameliorated, given the results in the gubernatorial elections, held simultaneously with the Union polls. The Constitutional Court has also validated these results, the outcome of which is that the three governors, to be inaugurated on May 23rd, will be: Mouigni Baraka Said Soilihi (Grand Comore), Anissi Chamisidine (Anjouan) and Mohamed Ali Said (Mohéli). Both Mr Soilihi and Mr Chamisidine are perceived to be supporters of Mr Sambi and his party, and are thus expected to work broadly with Mr Dhoinine. Mohamed Ali Said ran on an anti-Sambi platform, suggesting that there could be tensions on Mohéli. This has tended to be the pattern under the federal system, with the governor (president) of the island on which the Union presidency has devolved seeking to build his own power base.
