political Wednesday December 1, 2021 | 08:44 AM| Number of readings: 690 The Coordination Framework announced its categorical rejection of the results of the current elections, stating that: "It has become clear, beyond any doubt, that the Electoral Commission has prepared the election results in advance at the expense of the will of the Iraqi people."

The victory of one of the candidates and then their withdrawal confirms and reinforces our suspicions."
