He added that "if there is any technical problem in the polling stations, this problem is not confined to the province of Sulaymaniyah, but it is in the rest of the provinces also and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan asked to take any measures that lead to reassure the rest of the political parties."

"The voting system is an integrated system and it is impossible to manipulate or pirate it. If there is any problem, the political entities must turn to the Commission and submit the complaint," he said.

He pointed out that "things are dealt with legally and can not launch charges that are baseless," calling on political entities to "respect the election results and deal with them in accordance with the law."

"The National Union has the same problem and is not satisfied with the number of votes it has received in some areas, and any objection must be in accordance with the law and not through media statements and accusations."

The Independent Electoral Commission announced yesterday that the participation rate in the elections was 44%.

The Iraqis voted on Saturday, 12 May 2018, to choose a new parliament, and these elections are the first after the defeat of the organization "Daash." Ended 29 / a 43

The boycotters turn the equation in the Iraqi elections and reveal the reluctance of the political forces

Baghdad Mawazine News

The boycott of the elections and the great reluctance witnessed by the general ballot have turned the table in the Iraqi political scene and showed the size of the winning political blocs in real terms, while the coalitions of victory and the rest and the victories are seen as big winners, while boiling conditions in Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah after accusations of forgery also dominated the scene in Anbar, And some areas of Baghdad.

The Iraqi Electoral Commission announced that the participation rate in the legislative elections reached 44.52 per cent of voters, the highest rate of abstention since the first multi-party elections in Iraq in 2005.

On Saturday, Iraqis voted in the first elections since the defeat of the Da'ash organization, while Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, an ally of the United States and Iran, seeks to defeat political opponents.

Iraqis have expressed pride in voting for the fourth time since the fall of Saddam Hussein. But they do not pin hopes that elections will bring stability to a country plagued by conflict, economic hardship and corruption.

In contrast, the boycotters voted higher, skeptical of the election commission, accusing the commission of lying and giving exaggerated figures.

More than 200 political, cultural, media and academic figures signed a document to contest the election days before the vote.

"Despite all the people's demands for administrative and political reform and the reform of the democratic system in Iraq, the forces of corruption and quotas have insisted on ignoring the voice of the people and proceeding with the false wedding," it said.

The boycotters described their position as "declaring the state of rejection of the act of raping democracy by unfair elections, by agreement of all, and by a non-independent commission that is dependent on the forces of political, financial and administrative corruption."

They warned against "falsifying the results by changing the reality of the participation rate and through the manipulation of votes."

They waved out demonstrations to protect democracy from its slanderers and rapists.

"They say that the boycott does not do anything, what Iyad Allawi said witness witness from the people," said Naseer Ghadeer, the most prominent advocates of the province on his Facebook page, referring to the National Coalition to cancel the election results and calls for a caretaker government.

A statement issued by the National Coalition received a copy of it.

He added that "this request came because of the reluctance of the Iraqi people to participate in the election in large numbers, the spread of violence and fraud and misleading and buy votes and exploitation of the conditions of displaced and displaced, in addition to the foggy measures taken by the Electoral Commission in electronic voting after the citizen used to different procedures in All previous elections. "

Allawi's coalition said that "this has produced such a reluctance and will lead to a legislative council that imposes a duty on the citizen away from his desire, as well as a weak government that lacks the confidence required for its success."

For his part, researcher Hisham al-Hashemi said that "the closing of the ballot boxes in Baghdad and the provinces after an election day saw a low participation can be considered the worst electoral experience since 2005."

"The boycotters were about 65 percent if they entered an electoral list that won a political majority and formed a national salvation government," he said.

"The question is how to bring them together and convince them, and the Iraqi narcissist, and every one of them wants to become the leader."

       Two equations for boycotts and reluctance to participate

"The number of those who have the right to vote 24 million citizens and the number of citizens updated their election cards 11 million and 700 thousand citizens, which means that 12 million and 300 thousand is not willing to participate originally added to this number of those who do not have the electronic card, The actual participation rate was 44.52 percent.

"This means that the number of voters who voted is not more than 1 million, which means that the real participation rate does not exceed 25 percent.

For his part, the head of the coalition Tamdn super Sheikh Ali, a second equation dealt with the crisis of abstinence and said that "the philosophy of the electoral districts on three pillars:

The first: the output of the corrupt from the power of the door.

Second: Amend the electoral law (St. Lego 1.7) for the benefit of small blocs.

Third: Drop the current Board of Commissioners in the Electoral Commission.

"But what happened is that" the corruptists returned to power from the net as a result of the first and the adoption of the electoral law proposal (St. Lego 1.9) in favor of the so-called large blocs as a result of the second and the current Council of Commissioners in the Electoral Commission in 2021 will be renewed for four new years until 2025 as a result of the third " .

       Abbadi and Sadr progress

Analysts believe Abadi is slightly ahead but his victory is not guaranteed. Abadi, who studied in Britain, did not have a strong political machine when he took office, but strengthened his position after the victory over the organization of "Daash."

Despite his closeness to the Sunni minority during his premiership, Abadi has bypassed the Kurds after foiling their efforts for independence. But failed to improve the economy and eliminate corruption.

 Even if Abbas's victory list wins, he will have to negotiate a coalition government that should be formed within 90 days of elections.

Amiri, 63, spent more than 20 years fighting Saddam from his exile in Iran.

Al-Amiri leads the Badr Organization, which is the backbone of the volunteer forces that fought the Da'ash organization.

Fawz al-Amiri will be a victory for Iran, which is waging proxy wars with Saudi Arabia for influence in the Middle East.

Many Iraqis feel that war heroes and politicians failed them when they failed to reform state institutions and provide the necessary health and education services.

"We do not need tanks or planes but only an electoral card so we can reform the political process that has been aborted by those who rule Iraq," said a 50-year-old worker named Khalid al-Shami at a voting center in Baghdad.

Maliki is seeking to return to the political arena again and presents himself as a Shiite hero after being marginalized in the wake of the invasion of "urging" Iraq.

Critics say al-Maliki's sectarian politics have created a climate that has enabled a "push" organization to gain sympathy among some Sunnis as it invades Iraq in 2014.

       Kurdish opposition rejects results

Following the closure of polling stations in all regions, the four opposition parties in the Kurdistan region of Iraq declared their rejection and non-compliance with "the overall process and results of the elections."

In a joint statement, the opposition parties called for the re-election of the Iraqi parliament in the region and the disputed areas, particularly Kirkuk.

In addition, the provinces of Sulaymaniyah and Kirkuk in the northern region of Iraq witnessed a security tension and a curfew, after the closing of the ballot boxes, in protest against charges of forgery.

Unidentified gunmen attacked the polling stations in Sulaymaniyah, by shooting and causing acts of violence, which called on the head of the northern Iraqi government, Nechirvan Barzani, to demand calm.

In the city of Kirkuk, thousands of Iraqi Turkmen demonstrated, condemning what they said were "fraud and fraud" in the parliamentary elections, accusing Kurdish parties of "turning the votes of Turkmen voters in their favor."

After that, the Iraqi army imposed a curfew in the city, fearing the escalation of the situation, against the backdrop of accusing the Arabs and Turkmen of the Kurdish parties to rigging, in the elections scheduled to announce their official results on Monday.

Civilians are returning strongly and the most prominent Communist Party forces

On the other hand, the chances of winning the civil currents in the elections appear to be large after they have entered through a number of currents and alliances, even the big ones, which makes the opportunity to form a civil stream in parliament in exchange for the parties of political Islam.

In these elections, the participation of the Communist Party as a patriotic party rooted in civil thought, capable of confronting the political parties of Islam despite its alliance with the Sadrist movement, also seemed to express a civil state despite the radicalization of the current in the past years.

It seems that the difficult task on all forces in the next phase is disarmament and arms limitation by the state and focus on the leadership of the Peshmerga in the hands of the federal state and re-formulation of the relationship within the government as well as complete the chambers of the legislative body to approve the law of the Council of the Union.
