Bakhit

"Nearly a month after new Premier Marouf al-Bakhit was named, he has yet to deliver, insisting that before any reforms can be made he must first push the country's 34 political parties to consolidate into three main political groups that can contest parliamentary elections _ a tedious political reordering certain to take time.  The political opposition is now demanding that he be fired and that it be made part of a unity government that can get right to work on reforms.  Furhter tarnishing the protesters' image of al-Bakhit, they accuse him of rigging past elections during a previous term as prime minister from 2005-2007."
