The final results of the Jan. 30 elections will be announced on Sunday, Farid
Ayar, spokesman for the election commission, told al-Arabiya TV channel on
Saturday. "The commission would meet Sunday morning to finalize some
unspecified issues and then announce the final figures in the afternoon. The
results will be considered official after a three- day period," Ayar
said. "We will give three days to verify the results, hear any disputes, and
then they will be officially declared final," he said. On Jan. 30, eligible
voters cast their votes to choose a 275- member national assembly tasked with
writing a constitution. Many Sunnis are believed to have boycotted the
elections.
