Jaffa Farah's Candidacy Suspended, Faten Ghattas Tapped for Second Spot on Front List

The Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (DFPE) council approved a compromise proposal on Monday evening to suspend the candidacy of Jaffa Farah for the second position on the party's list for the current parliamentary term. Farah accepted the proposal, agreeing to suspend his candidacy for this term while continuing his political work and contributing to the election campaign leadership.

Simultaneously, the DFPE council elected Faten Ghattas to fill the second position on the Front's list for the upcoming parliamentary elections. Ghattas, from the town of Rameh, holds a doctorate in political science from Sofia University in Bulgaria. He is a leader in the Communist Party and the DFPE, and directs activities for the Cancer Society in the Arab community.

Farah's acceptance of the compromise was attributed to a sense of national and party responsibility, prioritizing the interests of the Front, the party, the joint list, and the electoral battle. This decision aims to unify ranks and focus efforts against major political challenges facing their constituents.

Farah stated he would exert maximum effort in the coming period to continue his political and social activities, dedicating his full energy to ensure the success of the election campaign and support the Front, the party, and the joint list. The DFPE emphasized that the upcoming phase requires greater unity, solidarity, and mobilization from all comrades to achieve electoral success and broaden the representation of their masses and democratic forces.
