Iraq may soon be without a government, as clock runs out

ARTICLE SUMMARY

Baghdad is facing a political predicament, as too much has to be accomplished before parliament's term ends June 30.

 

 REUTERS/Alaa al-Marjani

Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose bloc came in first the in the May parliamentary election, looks at Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, whose bloc came in third, during a news conference, Najaf, Iraq, June 23, 2018.

 

The term of Iraq's current parliament ends June 30, but a mandated manual recount of votes cast in the May 12 election hasn't even begun, and disputes are deepening among some political blocs. This could create a constitutional vacuum, which would worsen an already-bad situation.

Parliament was slated to meet June 27 to vote on a bill to extend its term until the Federal Supreme Court confirms the election results. The court, however, was proactive and issued a decision June 26 rejecting an extension, citing the constitutional mandate that parliament serves four calendar years. The current parliament first convened July 1, 2014.

The court’s decision stated that any legislation passed after July 1 will be unconstitutional and “its consequences shall be null and void.”

The ruling sparked mixed reactions among Iraq’s political forces. Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jabouri and some political parties had supported the extension, and warned of a possible constitutional vacuum. Jabouri failed to secure a seat during the election.

Meanwhile, the winning political blocs, including the Sairoon Alliance headed by Muqtada al-Sadr, which won the largest number of parliament seats, condemned the idea of extending parliament's term. Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) member Hoshyar Zebari called the proposed extension "a new trick." Jamal al-Karbouli, head of the Iraq is Our Identity party, said it was an attempted “political coup.”

To speed up the recount process, the Federal Supreme Court decided the review will include only votes from areas where results were contested, whether within Iraq or abroad. The court also approved parliament's vote to dismiss some senior members of the Independent High Electoral Commission and replace them with judges. Adel al-Nouri, the commission's head, said the dismissed members were accused of election tampering. 

After a storage unit containing ballot boxes was set on fire in early June, protection measures were tightened at stations where ballots are stored. More than 5,000 members of the police, army and counterterrorism forces have been deployed to 21 such stations across the country.

“All managers of polling stations and offices where there have been complaints are instructed to transfer the ballot boxes and the electronic verification devices to designated locations in Baghdad,” Electoral Commission spokesman Laith Hamza said in a statement.

“The recount will take place in the presence of representatives of the United Nations, political blocs, as well as representatives of the candidates,” he added.

Skeptics of the election results are trying to get more monitors involved in supervising the recount. Iraqi Vice President Ayad Allawi, who heads the National Coalition, called on the Arab League and judiciary to participate in monitoring.

As the controversy over the vote results escalates, political parties are still discussing how to form a majority bloc that will be entrusted to choose the next Cabinet.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, during a June 23 visit to Najaf where he met with Sadr, announced an alliance between his al-Nasr bloc and Sadr’s Sairoon.

In a joint press conference with Abadi, Sadr said, “The alliance between the two sides will lead to formation of a cross-sectarian, technocratic government representing all the Iraqi people.”

He added, “The agreement includes supporting the army, placing all arms and weapons under the control of the state, developing a program to reform the judiciary, activating the role of the general prosecutor to continue combating corruption and holding accountable those accused of corruption,” Sadr added.

He also stressed that foreign forces in Iraq should commit "to not interfere in Iraqi domestic affairs.”

Sadr forged some alliances earlier this month, first with the National Wisdom Movement led by Ammar al-Hakim and Allawi’s National Coalition, followed by another alliance with the Fatah bloc led by Hadi al-Amiri, which comprises several Popular Mobilization Units factions and is close to Iran.

He didn't touch on his previous alliances in the latest announcement with Abadi. This raises the question, is he looking for the best alliance partners for the future government, only to renege on alliances with other forces? Or is he looking for a comprehensive alliance that will bring together the various forces under his electoral list?

Abadi, who would like to keep his position as prime minister, said his alliance with Sadr doesn't conflict with the latter's declared alliances and doesn't mean Sadr is "against other coalitions.” It appears Sadr doesn't oppose forming a comprehensive alliance, as long as the different blocs come under his list, which would lead the Cabinet selection.

As things stand now, it seems that selecting a Cabinet using a comprehensive coalition is a possible option. This would happen shortly after the commission finishes recounting the votes and the federal court confirms the official results. This would spare the country a lengthy constitutional vacuum or an extension of parliament's term.

On Thursday, an extraordinary session of the House of Representatives is scheduled to discuss a number of laws and pass a law extending the life of parliament.

For his part, the deputy of the coalition of Iraqi forces Abdul Rahman al-Loizi, extension of the work of the House of Representatives in violation of the "express" of the Constitution, considering that it is not in the interest of the political blocs to immerse themselves in matters contrary to the Constitution, while ruled out the possibility of voting on the extension.

The head of the committee, MP Adel Nuri, said that "the desire of the Electoral Commission of the judges assigned to the counting and manual counting of 1200 funds and neglect the rest of the votes of 10 million and 950 thousand votes is surprising," noting that "we visited the judges and explained the subject but they insist on their position and asked us To challenge our decisions, which we do in addition to the legislation of the Fourth Amendment to the law of elections of the House of Representatives. "

A member of the Political Bureau of the National Wisdom Movement, Abbas al-Issawi, said that "each winning team has a negotiation team and there were meetings between the wisdom and the Syrians and Fatah and victory and other political forces, and the total dialogues have been understandings and a real basis for them," noting that " And there are quotas produced by the elections of Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, and these realities can not be overlooked. "

A member of the coalition of state law Asma al-Moussawi said that "the state of law of the blocks announced during the election campaign that it does not have a candidate for prime minister, and there must be a ranking according to the priorities of the Iraqi street and we need personalities to promote services and reconstruction and not only at the level of minister, And directors of administrative units.

"We can not talk to any political party about a sound election 100%. Even in the stable countries and the political situation, there are many and many observations in the Iraqi scene," said Nawfal Aburghiv, a member of the political bureau and spokesman of the movement. These observations are doubling. "

In turn, the deputy official of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan in the province of Kirkuk Hidayat Taher, "The accusations of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan to manipulate the elections, invalid and return to a range of issues that have raised the Turkmen Front and opponents, where we see after the events of October 16 that the political blocs thought that the National Union will not Gets many seats and when the initial results were announced, they were shocked when they saw that he had won half of the seats in Kirkuk alone. " In reference to a vote of secession on 16 October.

For his part, said a member of the political bureau in Asaib Ahl al-Haq belonging to the Fatah alliance, Ahmed Kanani, "there will be insistence of us to participate in the formation of the next government in the absence of agreement on the political program for them."

Kanani said that "the understanding is not limited between alliances and others and Fatah and we have understandings with the rule of law and victory and we are open to the condition in the dialogue is the national space and movements continue so," noting that "the counting and manual sorting of the election results will not affect significantly in Baghdad and the center and the south" "The change in results in the provinces of Anbar, Kirkuk and Salahuddin."

To that the head of the party of civil track Muthana al-Samarrai, expressed surprise at the attempts to extend the work of the House of Representatives, despite opposition to the Constitution, while called the Presidency of the Parliament and political blocs not to open the door to the breach.
