The resolution of the Electoral Commission Council clashes with the desire of minorities in parliament

 Baghdad / Mohammed Sabah 
 

The Parliamentary Committee of Experts is waiting for the adoption of an amendment to the law of the Electoral Commission in the House of Representatives, which will increase the number of seats of the Board of Commissioners to (11) seats, to submit the names of candidates of the new Council of the Commission. 
The committee of parliamentary experts revealed that its members reached an agreement to select 30 candidates, including 3 minority candidates, to qualify for the next stage, which will depend on a new mechanism to choose the names to be voted by the House of Representatives. 
These discussions led to deep and deep differences between the Turkmen component, which refuses to put his seat, in the Council of the Commission, within the quotas of Shiite forces. The Turkomans attribute their rejection to the fact that their seat is part of the quota reserved for minorities. 
According to a member of the Committee of parliamentary experts Ahmed Sheikh Taha, in a statement to (range), that " 
The stages of evaluation adopted to screen the large numbers of candidates for the new Electoral Commission Council, was based on the basis of professionalism and efficiency, experience and certificates of study in the transition to the penultimate. "The opening of the nomination for the new Board of Commission in April The Commission received the experts 1200 applications for nomination, And was subjected to an evaluation process that led to the selection of only 116 candidates, including 6 members of the current 
Commission In June last year, the Parliamentary Committee of Experts received several appeals from candidates who were removed from the competition in the evaluation phase, which raised the number of applicants to more than 200 Candidate The 
Commission appointed to select the new Board of Commissioners, in the month of July, to conduct interviews for a number of candidates after the completion of the interview The Committee of Experts will submit nine names to parliament to vote for them in a final The 
Sheikh Taha stresses that " 
The committee of experts in the final stages of the selection of nine new commissioners to the Council of the Commission and submit them to the parliament to vote, "revealing" the agreement of the members of the Committee of Experts on the nomination of three candidates for each of the nine seats to compete among them. " The member of the Committee of Experts," The Committee and under this agreement Will choose 27 candidates from among the candidates and add three candidates from the minority, to move to the final stage and the final selection of names to be identified before the parliament. " 
But the deputy state law says that" the parliamentary committee did not agree on the mechanism to be adopted in the selection of nine candidates from Between tha Candidate yen , "expected" the adoption of the corresponding method, testing, certification and professional competence and to provide nine candidates for parliament to vote on them. " 
And formed a committee of experts from 29 members to choose the members of the Electoral Commission in the month of January. The National Alliance won 14 seats, compared with 7 seats for the Sunni constituency, 6 seats for the Kurds, and two seats for each of the Turkmen and Christian components. 
The parliamentary committee of experts is trying to resolve this complex mechanism for the selection of nine candidates for the Council of the Electoral Commission within the next two weeks to be names ready to vote in Parliament next September, which coincides with the end of the current mandate of the Commission. 
However, there are differences still considered by the political parties for a solution, including the distribution of these seats between blocks and components. The dispute over the expansion of the council's seats to 11 seats still continues, with the participation of Yazidis and Christians. 
There is considerable disagreement between the Turkmen Front and the National Alliance about the seat reserved for representatives of the component. 
The head of the Turkmen Front, Arshad al-Salhi, warns of these attempts, which he described as unjustified, stressing that "the seat allocated to the Turkmen is a red line and can not be converted to Kota." 
"The Turkmen component refuses to grant the Turkmen seat and give it to Sunni or Shiite forces," Salhi said in a statement. "The parliamentary committee of experts will select a board of commissioners representing all the components and maintaining their representation." 
The House completed the first reading of the amendment to the law of the Electoral Commission, in the session last week, in order to ensure a broad representation of components according to Article 125 of the Iraqi Constitution. 
 MP Salim Shawqi, member of the legal committee, said that "the amendment of the law of the Electoral Commission is still under discussion and negotiation within the House of Representatives on increasing the number of seats of the Board of Commissioners to (11) seats to ensure representation of all minorities and components." 
"There is a political consensus to pass this amendment in the House of Representatives because the presence of all components will ensure the neutrality of the elections," he said, adding that "

"Work in the department and in all sections of the Commission is ongoing and will not stop," said Sa'ad al-Badli, director of the party's departments department. He said that "109 parties have been granted leave to form parties after completing all their procedures and belongings."
Al-Abdali said in a statement to Al-Mada, "There are 281 applications received from different parties to the registration of parties, demanding the granting of licenses to establish," noting that "the old applications are estimated at 132 applications and the rest are recent requests." "There are 150 applications out of all these requests, which are serious and updated applications, 109 of which have been granted a founding leave, and the remaining 40 applications will only be approved in the coming periods," the party department official said. 
In turn, MP Mohammed Nuri al-Abdrabah, a member resigned from the Committee of Experts, that "the Committee of Experts met both Katae Zobaie and Gulshan Kamel, who were excluded from the final list," pointing out that "political consensus contributed to prevent two other members of the audience to the specific interview, Was Muqdad al-Sharifi. "
