Nearly three years after the fall of Saddam Hussein , a difficult political evolution continues in Iraq . For more than 20 years , the National Democratic Institute ( NDI ) has worked with political parties around the world to create more open political environments in which citizens can actively participate in the democratic process . A pre-election assessment mission to examine the technical preparations and political dynamics surrounding the election . NDI has conducted workshops , sponsored town hall meetings with representatives from national NGOs , local civil society , elected officials and representatives of the central administration , engaged and fostered youth participation , and conducted a variety of activities to promote women 's political participation during Mauritania 's transition period . The fact that she wanted to be closer to her mother , who was recovering from an industrial accident , did n't make it any easier . The Institute also contributed to legislative strengthening by building a parliamentary library and making the Laws of Guyana available in an electronic format on compact disc to the public , the judiciary and the legal community . The implementation of laws is often uneven owing to public sector capacity and a deficit in parliamentary oversight of the executive branch . One week later , Mesa attempted to dissolve renewed protests by calling for early presidential and congressional elections , a proposal Congress rejected as unconstitutional .
