| Summary: | A personal account of the author's experiences as an international observer of Yemen's parliamentary elections in April 1997. Information is provided on the different political parties, especially on the Yemeni Socialist Party (JSP), the General People's Congress (GPC) and the Islah, the Islamic party. Altogether there are fourteen different political parties operating in Yemen. The author concludes his accounts in emphasizing that the Yemeni public considered the elections as very important and did its best to make them work but that nevertheless problems existed such as irregularities, intimidation and fraud - the latter taking place mainly through Islahi "assistance" to the illiterate voters.
