“Calls for elections now during the war, a moment before victory, will paralyze Israel for at least six months; in my estimate, for eight months. They will paralyze the negotiations for the release of our hostages and in the end will lead to ending the war before achieving its goals, and the first to commend this will be Hamas, and that says it all.”

“The diplomats who are gathered here tell us there are structural problems, and that many African countries and African leaders have adopted elections just as a calendar item that is done every five years. There is very little scrutiny of the credibility of false elections, and that is where they say the problem lies.”

“Our standard of living has dropped, our salaries haven't changed despite inflation and we're living in an unstable environment. The main players in the conflict, who mostly then decided to stand in the elections, knew they had little chance of winning. That's why they disrupted it.”

“I'm happy the presidential elections aren't happening. To hold elections, you have to have a foundation. Our foundation is a constitution. If we don't have a constitution that identifies what kind of governing system we have, and the powers a president has, how can we vote for a president?”

“Some of us are trying to crystallise a new roadmap. There are different scenarios: a very short postponement, just a shift in the date to clarify the outstanding legal issues, such as a candidate's qualifications, or a longer six-month delay, but once you go for such a long delay anything can happen.”

“We're in a new phase. What we're seeing is the result of what has been happening in France for the past 15 years: the collapse of the left, which is now silent on immigration, and the rise of the extreme right, which ultimately may not win the elections but is setting the terms of the debate.”

“Mr. Modi's [Narendra Modi] retreat could give India's democracy a shot in the arm. It shows that even if the government repeals these laws for electoral reasons, elections still work as a formal mechanism to keep governments in check. It also shows that more substantive aspects of democratic participation like civil protests can be successful. It's good news for India's battered democracy.”

“A lot of protesters have large printed placards or pictures of journalists and members of parliament, lawyers, who have been arrested or imprisoned since July 25. They want to return to normal functioning of parliament. They want to return to the 2014 constitution, they want Kais Saied to step down and they would like to see new … [presidential and legislative] elections held.”

“They definitely seem [to be] moving forward a plan to get the elections to happen as scheduled. But there are other questions that remain unanswered, such as the legislative bodies - one of which is based in eastern Libya, and the other in western Libya. They're supposed to agree on a constitutional framework for these elections to happen, that includes who can run for president, what kind of powers does a president have.”
