It was gathered the questioning may not be unconnected with the postponement of the general election by one week by the commission last Saturday.
However, sources have revealed that the SSS has called off the invitation.
It was also gathered that the cancellation followed fears that the invitation by the SSS may distract the commission from concentrating on preparations for this Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections.
