Bending the rules in the name of stability under practical political and military pressure, enabled two former prime ministers and three former presidents – two of them constitutionally banned from doing so – to contest the presidential elections scheduled for this year. The realignment of political forces in parliament that indirectly resulted from the presidential elections led to the arbitrary dismissal of the prime minister and the formation of a new government that did not emerge out of the parliamentary majority obtained in the free and fair democratic elections held one year before. The impasse that followed affected the approval of government programmes and the annual budget. The political and institutional instability led to the postponement of the donors' conference, and also to delay in approving important international cooperation instruments vital for the country's economy, making access to international funds subject to higher levels of conditionality.
