This is probably due to the nature of the nomination process for delegates to the provincial and national assemblies. In addition, the Municipal Assemblies, who nominate these candidates, are highly motivated to nominate popular candidates of the highest quality. To have their candidates rejected by the voters – the people from their own neighbourhoods – would be a major political setback. Also, having just recently been elected themselves, the composition of the Municipal Assembly itself would likely be a reflection of the public will. And up to 50% (46% in the 1998 elections) of the candidates for the Provincial and National assembly will already be be delegates to the Municipal Assemblies. So, it shouldn't be surprising that none of their candidates have been rejected.
