"You will hear about what will be going on in the proceedings," said Saleh, calling all political parties and people of good will to cooperate for facing terrorist acts for making all people in peaceful and stable conditions.
In his meeting with officials and dignitaries in Hadramout governorate on Monday, president Saleh talked about governor's elections "I congratulate you for electing Salem al-Khanbashi as governor for Hadramout.
