New resources needed as a result of delay

    NAIROBI
    Commenting on the postponement, UN Special Representative Oluyemi Adeniji said that international observers fielded by the UN Mission in the CAR (MINURCA) would have been unable to give an opinion on the credibility of the elections, had voting been held under the circumstances existing on 12 September. Speaking on Radio MINURCA on Monday, Adeniji said delays in the printing of ballot papers had made it "technically impossible" to deliver the materials to all polling stations in time. Meanwhile, Adeniji said he had already contacted "external partners" to seek additional resources required as a result of the postponement.
