The Palestinian Fatah movement officially delays its party conference, originally set for March 21, until late May, a Fatah spokesperson says, without providing a reason.
Fatah holds conferences once every few years so as to elect the party’s top leadership. Recent gatherings have seen party chief Mahmoud Abbas, who serves as Palestinian Authority president, appoint loyalists and demote those deemed close to his rivals.
