Analysts predicted that Mr. Bathily might be targeting September or October, at the latest, for voting to take place. Sounding so optimistic, he even predicted that the elusive election laws could be achieved by June. The big sticking point, among others, has always been election laws and eligibility of contestants, particularly for the position of president.
