Columnist Ahmed Saeed says in an article it is for sure there is a democratic need for cooperation among civil society establishments to pres for changing the Supreme Commission of Elections or to treat its situation. That is a correct inlet for carrying out serious reforms to prepare the democratic field for partners of political action in the country.
The current scene does not afford dangers of the undesired control of the Elections Commission that impedes development and growth of the democratic experiment and gives it more recessions in favor of the ruling system. Therefore it is for the country's good providing secure and upright climate to realize sovereignty of the law that ensures effective and serious participation in the coming elections.
What the elections submitted of solutions have no legal text but rather a violation of the law and clear bias to the ruling party. If the law has given it the right to form committees, which is a procedural question that comes after partnership agreement not before it, the same law has taught it how to do that through obliging it to two rights that it must understand. The first is that the committees should not be formed from one part, which means partnership in the formation. The second thing is that in case of changing any member in any election committee he should be replaced by another from the same party.
