  • yota691 changed the title to Iraqi judiciary: The results of the elections can not be canceled and the manual recount

 

 

 

5/6/2018 Now - Agencies

Iraqi judiciary: can not cancel the election results ...

The Supreme Judicial Council, which runs the judiciary in Iraq, said on Tuesday that the laws in force do not allow the cancellation of the election results or the manual counting and counting of votes in the parliamentary elections held on 12 May.

The Judicial Council, in a statement received by Anatolia, said that "Article 8 of the Electoral Commission Law No. 11 of 2007 gives the participants in the elections to challenge the results of the elections to the Board of Commissioners of the Independent High Electoral Commission, whose decision is either positive or negative, Submitted by the complainant '.

"If the complainant is not satisfied with the decision of the Board of Commissioners, he will appeal it to the electoral tribunal. The court will decide this appeal individually for the complainant only within 10 days from the date of referral of the appeal. Revoked, according to the facts and evidence provided by the appellant '.

He said that 'this method of opposition to the election results, is the only one stipulated by the law of the Electoral Commission, and can not be skipped to another method of lack of legal basis for the judiciary based on it'.

In its statement, the Council referred to the absence of a provision in the law that gives the judiciary the authority to take a general decision to cancel certain results either inside or outside Iraq, as required by some, and there is no provision in the law giving the judiciary the right to request the Commission to recalculate a certain percentage Of the election results'.

He continued that 'the amended electoral law No. 45 of 2003, provides for the process of counting and counting using the acceleration of electronic results and thus can not be the process of counting and sorting by hand'.

"The law provides for the exclusive authority of the Board of Commissioners to refer any criminal case to the competent authorities if there is evidence of misconduct in the fairness of the electoral process. Therefore, everyone must respect and strictly apply this legal provision. It was broken. '

"If a complaint of forgery is attributed to the Board of Commissioners, this requires reviewing the person who claims this to the competent court of inquiry to provide evidence proving the existence of the forgery and its proportion to the person who committed it. The court then makes the appropriate decision against the person who committed the crime of forgery, Punishable by either imprisonment or imprisonment for the perpetrator of the crime '.

Against the backdrop of widespread debate in the country about electoral fraud, parliament decided last week to abolish the voices of Iraqis abroad and displaced people inside the country's camps, as well as compel the commission to manually count and count 10 percent of the ballot boxes.

The Electoral Commission refused to comply with the parliament's decision. She said it was against the laws in force.

The Supreme Judicial Council also stated in its statement that "the number of complaints submitted to the Board of Commissioners regarding the objection to the election results amounted to 1881 complaints, while appeals against the decisions issued in those complaints which reached the judiciary until Monday, amounted to 1221, will be resolved during Legal period of 10 days from the date of referral to the judiciary '.

It is expected that the results of the elections will be ratified by the Federal Supreme Court (the highest judicial authority in the country) after the resolution of complaints, and then to show the results categorically.

The alliance of 'Saroon', supported by the leader of the Sadrist movement Moqtada al-Sadr, ranked first with 54 seats out of 329, followed by the alliance 'conquest', the political arm of the factions 'popular mobilization' led by Hadi al-Ameri with 47 seats.

And after the solution of the coalition 'victory', led by Prime Minister, Haider Abadi, with 42 seats, while the coalition 'State of Law' led by Nuri al-Maliki on 26 seats.

So nearly 4 weeks after elections, most voting done electronically with winners announced in news one week later, and the Feds still haven't 'received' the final winners list. These fools make a snail's pace look fast. The political process at it's very worst.

I really like what is said here. I suspect many of the 1,000+ complaints will be dismissed on the grounds noted here. I suspect the rest could result in indictments and the Iraqi Judiciary will ratify the results pretty much on schedule so that the indictments can be issued and the newly elected and appointed officials be seated in accordance with the Iraqi Constitution.

 

I suspect Abadi and Sadr are hot on getting the newly elected Parliament in place with the Speaker Of The Parliament, the Prime Minister, the President of Iraq, and all the other appointed figures seated so that the corruption can be cleaned up, Iran gets booted from Iraq, and the reconstruction, construction, economic development, and foreign investment can be strongly set in motion quickly to avoid and Sectarian Violence leading to Civil War in Iraq. The times have never been better and can erode quickly without the right very short term actions while I believe Abadi, Sadr, and others know this and that the clock is ticking.

 

I think a lot will occur from now until the end of Ramadan nominally June 15 and a mere ten days away. There may be trickle over until the end of June. The newly elected and seated officials could be seated as early as July 1. Well, OK, this is Iraq so maybe some stuff will trickle past then. I believe that time is of the essence, though.

 

Just my thoughts, opinion, and :twocents:

 

In The Mean Time.........................................

 

Go Moola Nova (YEAH AND YEE HAW, BABY, LET 'ER BUCK!!!)!!!

OK, just a thought. Now that the judiciary knows it's NOT their job to cancel any election results, and the parliament meetings and vote were insignificant actions by a bunch of losers.

 

Step 1: Election commission print out results that were announced week after the voting.

Step 2: Extremely high paid official gets on his camel and rides across street to Fed building.

Step 3: Said official hands printed results to Fed committee for approval.

Step 4: King Bean releases #800 numbers and cranks up sleeping redemption center staffers. LOL.

 

                                                                                                                                             :lol:

Really makes me wonder on how they can be a sovereign country at the rate they work and show up in parliament.

It provided for the "exclusive authority" of the Board of Commissioners with regard to the referral of any criminal case to the competent authorities if there is evidence of misconduct in the integrity of the electoral process. Therefore, everyone must respect this law and apply it strictly and not be allowed to any party that violated it. 
In case there is a complaint of forgery attributed to the Board of Commissioners, this requires the review of the alleged to the competent investigating court to provide evidence to prove the existence of forgery and attributed to the person who did it and then take the appropriate decision on the right of the person who committed the crime of forgery in accordance with the provisions of the Penal Code, Imprisonment or imprisonment for the perpetrator of the crime.

Iraqi Supreme Court begins implementation of parliament's controversial decision
 

Iraq's Supreme Judicial Council on Thursday issued a statement announcing the implementation of the parliament's controversial decision to re-count the votes manually by next week.

The Iraqi Council of Representatives voted during its meeting on Wednesday afternoon, the Third Amendment Law of the Law of the elections of the Council of Representatives No. (45) for the year 2013, and the abolition of Article 38 of the law of the elections of the Council of Representatives, and the cancellation of the results of elections abroad and displaced without re-counting and sorting.

With this vote, the Parliament has abolished the electronic count and counting process, which means manually re-counting and counting the results of the 12 May legislative elections across Iraq by 100% even to the stations abolished by the Commission.

The Council also voted on the appointment of nine judges instead of the current members of the Electoral Commission. The work of the judges ends after the ratification of the results and the suspension of the work of the members of the Commission.

The decision came a day after Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi said the election had seen "serious breaches".

The Supreme Judicial Council said in a statement that it is the implementation of the decision of the parliament decided to invite all members of the Judicial Council to meet on Sunday morning to name judges who will be assigned to do the work of the Board of Commissioners and oversee the process of manual re-counting of the results of the elections.

The Judicial Council decided to form a committee from the head of the public prosecution and the head of judicial supervision and judicial supervisors to move immediately to the Electoral Commission building to prepare for the task and maintain the ballot boxes and the organs and priorities of the voting process.

The statement said that the judiciary suspended the work of the judiciary for the elections competent to consider the appeals filed on the results of electronic counting and sorting until the resolution of the procedures of counting and sorting manual and submit new appeals regarding them.

"The Judicial Council declares that no participant in the elections or any related person shall be allowed to attend the Judicial Council or the Elections Commission or to contact any judge concerned with this matter, starting with the President of the Judicial Council and the other judges concerned."

The Judicial Council said that "the phones of all the judges concerned were closed, asking everyone to appreciate the difficult circumstances that accompany the work of the judiciary on this matter."

Such a move would hinder the complex process of forming a new government and put the government and parliament in a standoff with the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC), increasing the likelihood of an explosion in the country.

The election was won by a coalition led by cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, the historic opponent of the United States, who at the same time opposes Iran's influence in Iraq.

The votes were counted using an electronic system to prevent any manipulation, but many Iraqi officials confirmed that many of the violations.

What I am concerned about is the manual recounting of all the votes now. Between the election on May 12 and now, the ballots could have been tampered with or exchanged to swing the votes to the corrupt of those in GOI positions now.

 

Nominally, a month has transpired from the May 12 election so the corrupt had enough time to put a plan in place to mangle the election results. I am hoping a plan comes in force to displace this corrupt plan to swing the results. Maybe Sadr and Abadi have a plan to do this. I can not imagine Sadr and/or Abadi allowing their rightful and correct numbers to swing in favor of another coalition.

So, I'm further concerned about this statement. I do not think Sadr and/or Abadi wants Sectarian Strife leading to Civil War break out especially with how far they have gotten with forming alliances peacefully with a diverse set of interests in forming the new government in accordance with the electronic (and likely accurate for the most part) voting to represent the wishes of the Iraqi people. I do not think the Iraqi people want to keep the corrupt in government.

 

I kinda feel like and I am hoping the kibosh is put on this recounting nonsense immediately. I am not sure if a United Nations entity will step in to "encourage" the peaceful transition of power based on the current and most accurate electronic election results. Since a Korean company had provided this voting mechanism, I am surprised there have not been any comments from the Korean company on the subject matter of potential corruption in the voting process by any Iranian or Iraqi entity.

 

So, more drama and popcorn for now. There are nominally eight days left until Eid al-Fitr after Ramadan so I suspect a lot will happen on this in the next week or so.

 

In The Mean Time.............................................................

 

Go Moola Nova (YEAH AND YEE HAW, BABY, READY WHEN YOU ARE BROTHER - LET 'ER BUCK!!!)!!!
