Election results... The crisis is reaching its worst, and Baghdad is in an "atmosphere of war"

The opposition parties, led by the armed factions, did not find in the full results of the October elections a tangible change to mitigate the impact of the resounding loss.

 

 

Quote

Tension was evident in the streets of the capital, Baghdad, which is witnessing extraordinary emergency measures 

 

The Electoral Commission announced the results of the poll after the completion of the manual counting process .

The head of the Commission's Board of Commissioners, Judge Jalil Adnan, said in a press conference, just before midnight on Saturday, October 16, that "the process of checking the election results has ended, after completing the counting and manual counting of 3,681 stations."

Adnan added, "The preliminary results are now available to everyone through the website of the High Elections Commission," explaining that "these results are preliminary and can be appealed."

 

The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners indicated that the commission "is obligated according to the law to stand at the same distance from all candidates."

In the same context, the Complaints Department of the Commission confirmed during the press conference, "Several doors were opened to receive appeals against the election results within 3 days of the results announcement, to conduct scrutiny and audit of all appeals submitted."

In contrast to Muqtada al-Sadr's victory announcement, calling for "national alliances" and a "patriarchal service government", the "coordinating framework" that includes Shiite political forces, with the exception of the Sadrist movement, emerged as the staunch opponent.

The "coordinating framework" held the commission "fully responsible for the failure of the electoral process and its mismanagement, which will negatively affect the democratic process and societal accord," to escalate the tense atmosphere since the release of the initial results.

Tension was evident in the streets of the capital, Baghdad, which is witnessing extraordinary emergency measures and the proliferation of armed forces, including army units, amounting to "war measures," as a police officer tells Ultra Iraq.

The officer explained, on condition of anonymity, that "strict orders were issued to deploy checkpoints throughout the capital, with their intensification in the Hawiyah areas, including the Green Zone."

And "Ultra Iraq" monitored strict security measures in separate areas of the capital, including the closure of Tahrir Square, and thorough searches of cars, which led to bottlenecks in central Baghdad, despite the weak movement after midnight.

 

 

 

Several parties read the talk about "civil peace" in the statements of the armed factions as a threat of an armed clash in the absence of a satisfactory settlement of the results or of the political alliances that will adopt the next government.

A well-informed political source told Ultra Iraq, "An armed clash may actually take place, and the matter is not limited to threats or threats."

The source explained, on condition of anonymity, that "the Shiite parties that lost the elections greatly fear Muqtada al-Sadr's next steps," noting that "these parties believe that al-Sadr intends to politically exclude them and then liquidate them in the street."

The source, who was briefed on the atmosphere of the "coordination framework", believes that "Al-Sadr's insistence on taking over the prime ministership will inevitably mean a confrontation," noting that "the only option to avoid a clash lies in restoring the equation of 2018 by agreeing on a compromise candidate for prime minister."

IRAQIS SEND A MESSAGE TO POLITICAL LEADERS: CORRECT THE PATH

 

Sunday, October 17, 2021 3:03 PM

Baghdad/National News Center

Today, Sunday, Iraqis called on the country's political and party leaders to stay away from inflammatory rhetoric and threaten civil peace in order to prevent the country from being drawn into violence after the results of the early parliamentary elections that took place in Iraq on the tenth of this month.

Iraqis unanimously agreed with the German News Agency (dpa) that all the competing political blocs in the parliamentary elections openly announced, after the polls closed, that the elections succeeded and that the political process recorded great progress in terms of preparation, preparation, organization and control of the voting process and providing full protection for electoral centers, as well as An unprecedented international and international presence and tens of thousands of local observers.
The Iraqis stressed that everyone is aware that the process of early announcement of election results 24 hours after the closure of the polling stations by the Independent High Electoral Commission in Iraq was accompanied by a failure due to the failure to complete the calculations for all electoral stations due to a technical defect that accompanied the electronic counting, but this did not prevent the elections from taking place. It has not been officially proven that fraud and manipulation occurred, as happened in all the electoral processes that Iraq witnessed since 2005 until now.
Sadiq Khalil, 39, a government employee, stated that "the Iraqi elections proceeded in a calm and orderly manner, although the popular participation was not at the level of ambition, because these elections came with a popular desire against the backdrop of popular protest demonstrations that demanded a redrawing of the political process in the country."
He said, "I think that the government and the Electoral Commission presented a good model in these elections, and therefore the announcement of the results in their current form reflects the public's desire to make change, which is a legitimate matter, and the losers and winners must prepare for the next stage, recalculate and expedite the formation of the new government."
The Independent High Electoral Commission announced that it had received more than 1,300 appeals and complaints related to violations that accompanied the electoral process, and that the judicial authority in the Electoral Commission would investigate this plague and announce the results within 10 days.
The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, whose movement won 73 seats in the new parliament, welcomed the election results, while nine Shiite entities expressed their rejection of the election results and forming a coordinating entity for the next stage.
Tahseen al-Samarrai, 57, a retired man, explained: “We must respect the election results, whatever they are, and warn against threatening a state of popular conflict, because this is a dangerous matter that drags the country into the unknown. Religious authorities must intervene to stop the media attack of the losing entities and not drag the political process into slipping, violence and popular fighting.” .
He stated that "the war has come to an end, the elections scene has ended, and the final picture has become clear to the political entities, and therefore everyone must start a new stage by reconsidering their programs and allowing the winners to form the political process for the next four years and for the losers to go to the opposition in Parliament to strengthen the course of the political process."
According to the results of the Iraqi primary elections, the Sadrist movement is the closest to entering into negotiations with the other parties that won the election results, most notably the “Progress” alliance led by Muhammad al-Halbousi and the Kurdistan Democratic Party to form the new Iraqi government.
Among the most prominent results of the Iraqi elections is that it produced an independent opposition movement with 40 seats, which has not been achieved since the formation of the new political process in Iraq.

His nationality is called "Amir Irian". According to him.

Imad Jamil Mohsen, a member of the media team at the Commission, said in a press statement that "the reception of appeals will continue until the end of the official working hours after tomorrow (Tuesday)," noting that "tomorrow is an official working day to receive the complainants."
He added that "receipt of appeals will last for 3 days, then they will be considered by the Board of Commissioners for a period of 7 days, and then they will be considered by the judiciary for a period of 10 days," noting that "the results of the appeals will be announced, and then the names of the winning representatives will be announced."
He continued, "The decisions of the judicial body are binding on the commission, and in the event that it decides, under an appeal, to open and investigate boxes, the commission is obligated to recount the votes of the stations or district covered by the complaint only," explaining that "the appeal against the result of a particular candidate in a specific electoral district is dealt with within the district only, and not as happened. In the previous elections, that is, there will be no recounting of all votes.”
He stressed that "international monitoring will continue until the results are ratified," and pointed out that "the appeals submitted now, some of them relate to issues about the results, such as propaganda or electoral violations, and they are technical and procedural issues and do not rise to the rank of red lines."
And earlier on Sunday, popular movements were launched in several provinces in Iraq, to protest against the results of the elections and what took place during them.
Yesterday, the coordinating framework commented on the preliminary results of the elections by saying, "We hoped that the Electoral Commission would correct the major violations it committed."
He added, "After the commission insisted on contested results, we announce our complete rejection of these results," blaming "the commission full responsibility for the electoral failure and its mismanagement."

{Politics: Al Furat News} A member of the National Approach Alliance, Hussein Al-Uqabi, called on the Independent High Electoral Commission to cut off the strife.

 

Al-Uqabi told Al-Furat News, "The participation rate was very low, according to reality, not exceeding 20%, and the flow of the ballot was normal, but our problem was after closing the boxes related to cybersecurity. 
 The Commission was supposed to announce the election results completely and not partially within 24 hours, but it I deliberately did this to confuse and mislead the Iraqi street." 
He added, "The commission did not calculate the 3,681 ballot boxes interdicted by the manual counting and sorting process, but only took a percentage of it." 
 Al-Uqabi pointed out that "the Board of Commissioners is concerned with approving the election results," recalling that "Iraq March 6 legislative elections and it was customary for the Board of Commissioners to announce the election results for the governorates in advance."
 He stressed, "the necessity of re-counting and manual counting of all ballot boxes, and that the timing of the receipt of appeals is still fluctuating."
"We have a big problem, and we are with the Public Prosecution forming a technical body to investigate from cyber security, and there are electoral cards that were stolen a year ago, and they were given the right to vote in them," Al-Uqabi added.
He added, "The commission was not transparent in what it announced about the 5%, and it must bear the responsibility and stop sedition through manual sorting."
Al-Uqabi concluded, "Our problem is not in issues of physical evidence, but in cyber security, and the confusion revealed a real breach with the election results."
