 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, 1999
INTRODUCTION THE PRESIDENCY NOMINATIONS
CANDIDATES VOTING VOTER'S CHOICE
Should you vote for Salih, for Sha'bi, or not vote at all? Yemen Gateway has provided this questionnaire to guide voters through the decision-making process.

Click on the statement that you agree with most strongly:

YOU HAVE ALREADY MADE UP YOUR MIND

So why are you wasting time on these questions?

CONSIDER VOTING FOR SALIH

But remember that Salih will probably win by a very large majority. Do you think that a smaller majority would make him try harder over the next five years?

YES | NO

Back to start

CONSIDER VOTING FOR SHA'BI

But how would you feel if Sha'bi actually won? Would you be less worried about Yemen's future, or more?

MORE | LESS

Back to start

YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING

But democracy will never become properly established in Yemen unless people participate. Also, if you don't vote you will probably be helping Salih to win. Does that worry you?

YES | NO

Back to start

VOTE FOR SALIH ON SEPTEMBER 23

If things go wrong in the next five years friends will blame you, but you can tell them there was no realistic alternative.

VOTE FOR SHA'BI ON SEPTEMBER 23

Whatever goes wrong in the next five years, you can tell your friends that it's not your fault. Unless, by chance, Sha'bi wins - in which case they'll blame you.

STAY IN BED ON SEPTEMBER 23

Get up late, chew qat ... do anything you like, but don't vote. Whatever happens in the next five years, you can tell your friends that you played no part in it. And did nothing to prevent it, either.
