Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, aged 90 and in power since 2005 without elections since 2009, chaired Fatah's eighth general conference in Ramallah on May 14, 2026—the first leadership vote in a decade—where he was unanimously re-elected as party head and pledged Palestinian Authority reforms alongside long-delayed presidential and parliamentary elections amid pressure from the US, EU, and Arab states. The gathering elects a new Fatah Central Committee, pivotal for post-Abbas succession, as officials report Abbas positioning his son Yasser for a senior role, while PA deputy Hussein al-Sheikh emerges as a potential heir. Fatah's April 2026 municipal election sweeps bolstered legitimacy claims despite corruption accusations and financial strains from withheld Israeli tax revenues; no resignation signals have surfaced, with Abbas's health stable post-January routine checks. Conference outcomes could signal reform timelines or leadership shifts.
