You cannot figure out why Abbas wants to stay in power and how?Their constitution has procedures to replace a president. Abbas, with the help of the US and Israel, has blocked that process.Abbas has news for you.They can say what the want but Abbas left the government in June of 2007 and his term in office expired in January of 2009.11 years ago does not matter.Did you hear that Abbas left the government in 2007?Democracy, Palestinian style:
Mahmoud Abbas heads the PLO Executive Committee. the Executive Committee hand-picks the members of the PLO National Council.. The Council then chooses members of the Executive Committee. The EC then elects the chairman of the committee - Abbas.
The PLO Executive Committee is the government of the "State of Palestine" recognized by the UN.
The Palestinian Authority is politically meaningless, even though Abbas heads that as well. Of course, he was "elected" to that symbolic position back in 2005, and there have been no elections since.

A lesson in Palestinian Arab "democracy" ~ Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News
I didn't think so.
What matters is now
PLO convention affirms Abbas, 83, as unchallenged leader
"I am the President, still " says Abbas
Are you actually going to contradict him?
Who has been the President since 2009?
Gives a hint.
And are you actually saying that you would prefer Hamas in power in Judea and Samaria?
