Leading parliamentarians and Iraqi politicians, from different blocks, mobility and wide to collect signatures in order to interrogate the Electoral Commission in Iraq , as a prelude to the dismissal of its board and replace, in the first movement aimed at the commission , which exposed many of the accusations of impartiality and subordination of loyalties and sectarian and partisan involvement transactions corruption.

He said the Iraqi parliament member for "new Arab" that "deputies from different blocks they started collecting signatures to question the election commission campaign, stressing that the House of Representatives accused the commission, which was founded during the reign of former Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of siding with him in previous elections, and help him to get the highest results ".

"  There ispressure from MPs Bloc" coalition of therule of law ", which isheaded byformer Iraqi prime minister, Nuri al - Maliki, to prevent thecompletion of theinterrogation and dismissal procedures .  "

He added that "there is insistence powered by dozens of parliamentarians to change the Commission before the start of 2017 due to the local elections for provincial councils take place." He pointed to the existence of pressure from MPs Bloc "coalition of the rule of law", which is headed by al-Maliki, to prevent the completion of the interrogation and dismissal procedures.

As an Iraqi government official confirmed last for "new Arab" that "there are four files in the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi Office relating to corruption Commission Kantme members of religious parties and the acceptance of each financial bribes and manipulation of the election results on sectarian and ethnic and party lines." He pointed out that "a sensitive file, and certainly not be raised The investigation means the cancellation of the results of previous elections."

For its part, rejected the Electoral Commission in Iraq, calls for the replacement of its members, in a statement, accusing the "new Arab received" a copy of those calls seeking launchers that UNHCR would be subject to them by the provincial councils in 2017 and legislative elections in 2018.

"In this current circumstance that Iraq is going through in the war on Daesh and terrorism, and the difficult economic conditions experienced by Iraq, some voices in the parliament, and some political blocs and parties have emerged to demand the replacement of the members of the Board of Commissioners, under the pretext of affiliation of its members to certain political parties."

And it indicated that the Commission is far from partisanship and sectarian retrenchment, and the evidence for that is the success of the previous elections, and do not receive any confusion over the past years.

And it formed the current Electoral Commission in 2012 under the supervision of the current Vice President  Nouri al - Maliki , and adopted the principle of quotas party in the distribution of the Board of Commissioners , who runs the agency 's seats, its members and has the rank of deputy minister. And it accused local and international organizations specialized election commission of bias for the owners during the local elections in 2013, parliamentary and 2014, contributing to the victory of the coalition "state law" far ahead of his nearest rival.

MAN,, JUST ONE BANG AND HE WILL BE IN THE GROUND

I wonder if Abadi saw this attempt from Maliki to oust him.    He's already succeeding at eroding the confidence in Abadi by getting his top Ministers ousted, and now he's attempting this gambit as a way to cancel the results of the 2014 election altogether.   Christ -- or Allah or Buddha or whatever -- almighty, it's time to bring up on charges on Maliki.  If the $800 billion of embezzled funds outside of Iraq have been found, surely the forensic bean counters have also found that a lot of the graft leads back to Maliki.  How much evidence is enough?
