Jerusalem: A popular Palestinian militant broke with the political party that controls the Palestinian Authority late Wednesday, escalating a power struggle and dimming the party s hopes of retaining a monopoly on power in parliamentary elections.
The militant, Marwan Barghouti, 61, was long a revered figure in Fatah, the secular party that runs the Palestinian Authority and was co-founded by Yasser Arafat, the former Palestinian leader. Though serving multiple life sentences in an Israeli prison, Barghouti commands considerable respect among many party cadres and is considered a potential future candidate for Palestinian president.
On Wednesday night, Fatah members acting on his behalf broke with the party, forming a separate electoral slate that will compete against Fatah in the elections in May and posing a direct challenge to Fatah s 85-year-old leader, Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority.

RAMALLAH - A Fatah central committee meeting scheduled for Monday in Ramallah, under the chairmanship of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, could witness further rifts within its leadership as the final deadline to submit candidacy lists for upcoming elections approaches.
Legislative elections are scheduled for May while presidential elections are slated for July.
Sources within the Fatah movement said Abbas intends to push for sanctions against Fatah leader Nasser al-Qudwa in retaliation against his decision to run on an independent list.

Facing elections for the first time in 15 years, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is battling a growing rift within his powerful Fatah party that poses a new threat to his dominance over Palestinian politics.
A breakaway bid by one of Abbas s party allies has intensified speculation he might cancel a presidential vote planned for July, fearing a potential challenge by Marwan Barghouti, a popular Fatah leader serving five life sentences in Israel for terrorist activity.
