butterfly  Preliminary observations on the results of the Iraqi elections

10-15-2021   Preliminary observations on the results of the Iraqi electionsOn Monday, October 11, the preliminary results of the early Iraqi parliamentary elections were announced. The moment of the announcement witnessed a clear confusion in the performance of the Independent High Electoral Commission, which exacerbated the tension caused by the results themselves!

The preliminary results indicated an unprecedented victory for the Sadrist movement, as it has so far won more than 70 seats, i.e. just over 21% of the seats in the House of Representatives. The State of Law coalition headed by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki won 35 seats that can be increased, an increase of 10 seats than it obtained in 2018, and the Kurdistan Democratic Party obtained 32 seats, a number that it did not reach in any previous elections.

On the other hand, the Al-Fateh coalition and the forces of the national state (which includes the Wisdom Movement led by Ammar al-Hakim and the Victory Alliance led by former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi) lost, as the former obtained only 14 seats in these preliminary results, while it had obtained 48 seats in the 2018 elections.

The second coalition gets only 4 seats after they combined more than 62 seats in the 2018 elections (the Victory Alliance at that time won 42 seats, while the Wisdom Movement won 19 seats) and the Islamic Party and the Solution Party (which is affiliated with the Azm Alliance) did not get For any seat in this election.

butterfly   These results prompted the losers, accompanied by al-Maliki, to revive the so-called coordinating framework, and they issued a statement declaring their rejection of the election results in full if any fraud, manipulation or mismatch between manual and electronic counting and sorting was proven, and also reviving the “Al-Binaa Alliance” that was formed in 2018 and included the alliances of conquest and the rule of law and others, but this time with the joining of wisdom and victory!

The confusion of the Commission, which is not new in any case, as we have witnessed previous cases of confusion in the course of its work during nearly two years) led to a wave of widespread skepticism about the election results, especially after the Commission announced that more than 12 thousand stations had not been added to the announced results.

It is 8273 stations, with one station from an electoral center that must be manually counted and counted in order to match them with the results of the electronic counting and sorting as decided by the election law, and 3100 other stations whose electronic results did not reach the National Center through the transmission medium or the memory stick (the flash) did not arrive. own before announcing the preliminary results, and this was a major flaw in the work of the Commission!

butterfly   First, the commission had to announce that the preliminary results represented 89% of the results only, not to announce these results in the confusing way in which they were announced, and secondly, it had to announce the results of the 8,273 stations within its announcement of the preliminary results, and then randomly select these stations in the presence of Agents of political entities, to have data that can be verified after matching, not to withhold the results of these stations and then announce, later, that the matching has been done and that it was 100%, in the absence of monitoring of this selection process, first, and the matching process second!

It is not possible to measure the power relations between the Saeroon Alliance / the Sadrist Movement, which has won more than 70 seats, and the Al-Fateh coalition, which has won 14 seats so far, based on the number of seats. Rather, the strength of each of them is measured by the parallel weapons they possess.

Moreover, the commission did not refer, either from afar or from close, to what is stipulated in Article 39/c of ​​the Elections Law, which obliges it to conduct a process of interrupting the fingerprints of voters in private and public voting within a period not exceeding 10 days from the date of the general polling, meaning that the deadline will end on 20 of this month!

butterfly  Announcing the results of the stations that were matched, and then talking about 3100 other stations whose results were not published, which represents 6% of the number of stations, formed a favorable atmosphere for the increase in the volume of skepticism about the results, especially since some of the changes that took place seemed like attempts to satisfy the losers!

Especially in light of the accumulation and crisis of confidence resulting from the politicization of the work of the Independent High Electoral Commission in Iraq from the moment it was formed in May 2004, when it turned, in the end, into a mere representation of the parties!

We said in an article last Friday that the conflict in Iraq is not a political conflict governed by the election results, but rather a more complex conflict because many political forces have declared armed wings, and therefore it is this weapon that governs the political equation and not the number of seats that this party obtained or that.

Therefore, it is not possible to measure the power relations between the Sairoon Alliance / the Sadrist Movement, which has won more than 70 seats, and the Al-Fateh coalition, which has won 14 seats so far, based on the number of seats. It is Iran, and the nature of the alliances that they can reach with the other blocs and the extent of their solidity.

butterfly   Therefore, what is happening now is waiting for the formation of a solid Iranian-backed alliance consisting of the State of Law and Al-Fateh and those with them (the National Contract Alliance, the Alliance of State Forces, and some of the independents who will join them) and the seats of these will be within 60 seats until the moment, and they can be increased with the presence of an atmosphere

A general firmly believes that the preliminary results will necessarily witness “codified” changes, to satisfy the losing militants first, and to reduce the difference between them and the Sairoon Alliance to the lowest possible percentage!

Which will make both parties, obliged, and not given the choice, to form an alliance between them to be the most numerous bloc that nominates the next prime minister, which will ultimately mean that the next prime minister will not come out of the cloak of either of them, but rather will be a compromise candidate accepted by both parties, whether This bloc, the most numerous as required by the constitution, was announced, or not, in a repeat of the 2018 scenario.    rawabetcenter.com

butterfly   Al-Sadr criticizes Al-Maliki and the Dawa Party and calls on them to expose the plaintiffs and their affiliates whose hands are stained with corruption and blood in Mosul and the provinces / Expanded

Friday 15 October 2021 22:28 The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, criticized the statements of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki regarding the electoral machine, and also criticized what is happening in the corridors of the Dawa Party in general after the results of the recent elections.

Al-Sadr called on al-Maliki and the Dawa Party to expose the plaintiffs and their affiliates whose hands are stained with corruption and blood in Mosul and the provinces.

Sadr said in the text of the lengthy commentary he moved vizier in favor of social communication Iraqi:

We were in _oni ever before the fall of the greatest dictator _ the tyrant destructive hear about ( the Dawa party) a lot of talk nice for their courage and their faith and their love for the homeland and for their sacrifices ,

and we hope to continue this perception We wove it from the mothers of our thoughts and from the words of others from here and there, so that if the fall of the idol becomes near, we find (the Dawa Party) cooperating with (the Great Satan).

 butterfly   Then the idol fell..and the perceptions began to fade little by little in the hearts of the revolutionaries and patriots.

I do not want to list the facts here.. Perhaps some of them were wrong or exaggerated, or the like.

However, I lived some of it and witnessed some of those facts that we have read and the people have read that they are fading away from the old picture.

Today, all my wishes are to find the orders of those who say that he is the founder of the Dawa Party: (The First Martyr) is implemented in the corridors of the party.. as I find myself a humble heir to this honorable family, and what affects it from that party affects me and it is my duty to advise.

He sanctified his secret revolutionary, national reform, unifying the ranks of Iraq without sectarianism.

So I hope to fix what's in the .,. Dam before it is too late.. What happened in these elections is the best proof of what I say.

So, dear brothers in the Dawa Party, rectify your affairs and gather your affairs, so that you may obtain from God and the people what our martyr and your martyr achieved, by exposing the claimants and those who belong to you and whose hands are stained with corruption and blood in Mosul and other provinces.

butterfly   And error is not a defect as long as we are not infallible.. Rather, the mistake is insisting on it and not acknowledging it.. as we are upon it by exposing the secretive and the beneficiaries and punishing the spoilers, this is the upbringing of the Sadr family for us.

I am not here in the position of accusation, but rather in the position of advice: admitting wrongdoing is a virtue.

At the same time, confession is an erasure of sins and a return to the old image that we used to carry around us previously, so be brave in that as you were brave in fighting the destructive and impure apostasy.

May the bonds of affection return between you and the Al-Sadr family first, and with your people, your neighbors, and the entire world.

Yes, I heard today (Al-Maliki)'s statement regarding the current electoral process, and I was surprised by his words, but they are incomplete.. So he has to make up for what was lost and wasted advice from me as a way to God Almighty.

butterfly   And what has been lost cannot be compensated for by clinging to power and domination, for it has been tried and has not succeeded, and the tempted is not tempted.

But by reconsidering what happened and working to hold himself and then those who took refuge in him before God and before his community.. and this needs courage and without hesitation before it is too late.

For if he finds himself innocent of what is attributed to him, then publicly revealing his innocence is required.. It resores his beautiful splendor to him and his party and brings him closer to God and his people.

And all of this in order to restore the prestige of Iraq..and preserve the egg of Islam in our beloved Iraq..which has become weary of the actions of those affiliated with Islamic parties, whether true or false. https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=933439

butterfly   Chihod: Election fraud occurred internally and externally, which is the most dangerous because of international interventions that changed the results, contrary to what the Iraqi street aspires to.

Friday 15 October 2021 The former deputy in the State of Law coalition, which won the parliamentary elections, Muhammad Saadoun Al-Sayhoud, said that the electoral fraud occurred internally and externally, and it is the most dangerous because of international interventions that changed the results, contrary to what the Iraqi street aspires to.

Chihod said in a press statement today that "the electoral process was marred by a lot of ambiguity and fraud, which occurred in many and scandalous ways, and that the electoral process resulted in three parties, the first winner of membership in the House of Representatives, but he did not win the confidence of the Iraqi people because of fraud.

The second party won the membership of the House of Representatives and also won the confidence of the people because it came with real merit and popular will, and the third party did not win the membership of the House of Representatives, but it was a true representative of the Iraqi people, but it lost because of the victory of the counterfeiters who won it without any real entitlement.

He added, "The counting and sorting procedures are not convincing, and they are tantamount to throwing ashes in the eyes, and that what happened has happened, and that fraud occurred and came in different stages and occurred in two ways, the first within the elections and the second external, because the real fraud occurred perhaps outside Iraq with strong and dangerous international interventions that changed the results...in general. The results will depend in this way, and no other method can be resorted to.” https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=933446
