PoliticsHaidari rules out difference in results after vote recount

Saturday, April 24th 2010 7:31 PM

Erbil, Apr. 24 (AKnews) – Head of the Independent High Electoral Commission of Iraq (IHEC) Faraj Haidari ruled out the possibility of a difference in the vote results in Baghdad province after a recount was ordered by the country federal court because the votes have been precisely sorted and counted.

"I do not anticipate any change in the announced results of Iraq's parliamentary vote from a recount of the ballots" Haidari said Saturday.

Haidari added that sorting and counting the ballots, in all Iraqi provinces, including Baghdad as well, was done accurately by qualified workers of the commission and in the presence of the world and local observers.

Iraq's federal court ordered a hand recount of Baghdad province's around 2.5 million votes last Monday after several complaints were raised, and ostensibly providing evidence of fraud, by outgoing Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki's State of Law Coalition.
