[size=45]Yesterday, Wednesday, forces within the Shiite coordination framework threatened to repeat the elections and hold them on their official date next June, stressing that the proposal was discussed with some blocs and personalities affected by the results and their votes were stolen.[/size]
[size=45]But the Sadrist movement was surprised by the proposal, and spoke of its illegality, calling for the street not to be involved in political conflicts, stressing the need to respect the electoral outcomes.[/size]
[size=45]A member of the Al-Hikma Movement, Fahd Al-Jubouri, said in an interview with (Al-Mada), that "everyone was surprised by the percentages announced in the elections for all political blocs, as they came contrary to expectations."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Jubouri added, "The current situation is heading towards escalation, which should be through legal and constitutional methods, and not resorting to measures that harm the prestige of the state and its institutions or the citizen and his security." He pointed out, "The Iraqi will was robbed and robbed in broad daylight through the ballot boxes, and there was clear fraud in the entire electoral process."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Jubouri explained, "The assurances we submitted to the Commission on these violations are supported by evidence, and we are waiting for a decision on them through legal methods and means." And he indicated, "Everyone has full confidence in the integrity of the judiciary, and he is also waiting for him to say in the appeals that were registered against the violations that accompanied the electoral process."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Jubouri spoke of what he considered “a popular will rejecting the results in the street, and some of the objectors had taken part in peaceful demonstrations in accordance with the law that guarantees freedom of expression.” He finds, "Iraq is facing a dangerous slide and a state of political impasse," demanding that "there should be a comprehensive manual counting and sorting of all results, because we are facing the fact that funds in some provinces have been infiltrated." Al-Jubouri infers what he considers “data confirming the existence of manipulation through external or internal factors, some of which came deliberately to exclude some political blocs.” And he points out, "a significant delay in closing some polling stations, other than the announced date, which was scheduled to be at six o'clock on October 10."[/size]
[size=45]He went on to say, "Those and other signs, especially the reluctance to announce the results and the changes in them, gave us doubts about the integrity of the electoral process in general."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Jubouri spoke about “the exclusion of about 10 parties that make up the coordinating framework, from the political process because of these results, which we believe do not correspond to reality.”[/size]
[size=45]He revealed, “a third scenario in the event that all appeals are rejected or resorting to comprehensive manual counting and sorting, and that would be by resorting to re-elections, especially with the continuation of demonstrations and fears of some clashes that we do not wish.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Jubouri stated, "This option was discussed by some political blocs in order to hold the elections on their official date, in June of next year."[/size]
[size=45]And he continues, "The proposal includes changing the Board of Commissioners and entering into new electoral contents to ensure societal harmony among the spectra of the Iraqi people."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Jubouri promised, "Silence is no longer possible regarding the deliberate exclusion of some political forces or the marginalization of the votes obtained by these forces." Al-Jubouri went on to say, “The proposed solutions will not depart from the constitution. We are not talking about armed clashes or disobedience to the state, but rather legal contexts that will be announced in a timely manner within the coordination framework and the affected blocs and personalities.”[/size]
[size=45]Supporters of the coordination framework had organized demonstrations and a sit-in in front of the Green Zone to protest the election results.[/size]
[size=45]For his part, a member of the Sadrist movement, Riyad Al-Masoudi, said in a statement to Al-Mada that "the escalation looming by political forces affected by the electoral process is not justified."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Masoudi continued, "The Iraqi citizen has said his word, in free and fair elections, and chose his representative in Parliament, and the blocs must absorb this thing and not threaten to escalate or threaten societal peace."[/size]
[size=45]He does not see that there is "a legal basis for repeating the elections or conducting a comprehensive manual count, and the commission was transparent in its work, as evidenced by the testimony of all international and local observers."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Masoudi concluded, “The need to respect the outcomes of the democratic process, and not to threaten civil peace, and the suspension of losses and the decline in popularity from some political blocs on the peg of forgery and other incorrect justifications.”[/size]
[size=45]It is noteworthy that the judicial body specialized in examining appeals against the elections formed in the Federal Court of Cassation has ruled not to conduct a comprehensive counting, except for stations whose validity is questionable.[/size]
[size=45]The results of the elections showed a clear progress for the Sadrist movement, which won 73 seats, and a retreat for other Shiite forces, most notably the Al-Fateh Alliance, the Wisdom Movement and the Victory Alliance.[/size]
