[size=45]Baghdad/ Firas Adnan[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, Sunday, forces in the coordination framework revealed that they had submitted appeals to the Federal Supreme Court regarding the elections, and talked about evidence and documents, which they said were capable of overthrowing the results.[/size]
[size=45]However, the Kurdistan Democratic Party saw that these elections are the best since 2003, citing the opinions of international bodies, civil society organizations and observers, stressing that some forces obtain few seats because of the law that can win the most votes.[/size]
[size=45]In an interview with Al-Mada, a member of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Ali Al-Fatlawi, said that "a number of appeals were submitted at the end of last week to the Federal Supreme Court regarding the electoral process."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fatlawi continued, "These appeals adopted by the Al-Fateh Alliance include great evidence and evidence that would topple the electoral results, according to what was announced."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, "The problems related to the counting and sorting operations were proven to us, after there was a change in six to seven seats according to the procedures of the judicial body that considers appeals."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fatlawi pointed out that "the Electoral Commission is still saying that the match made by its technical staff regarding the results was 100%, which are surprising positions and warrant stopping at them."[/size]
[size=45]And he expressed his confidence, that "the Federal Supreme Court will take real action on the results, and make broader changes in view of the violations that occurred."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fatlawi confirmed that "those changes occurred after the meeting of the Secretary-General of the Ahl al-Haq Movement, Qais al-Khazali, with the representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Iraq, Jenin Plasschaert, last week, who requested a two-day deadline to consider the evidence."[/size]
[size=45]The member of the Al-Fateh Alliance continues, "Many changes have taken place after the real counting and sorting was conducted, and the failures of the Electoral Commission, which today must admit the grave mistakes that made the political process, appeared before public opinion."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fatlawi pointed out that “the changes did not include only the Al-Fateh alliance, or the coordinating framework forces, but there were seats obtained by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, and this is evidence that the scrutiny was not intended to appease the objecting Shiite forces, but rather came in line with reality.”[/size]
[size=45]And he spoke about “a difference of views within the coordination framework regarding the re-election, there are those who support it, and others call for only counting and sorting; It is an appropriate procedure that is not financially costly and does not take more time.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fatlawi continues, "The Al-Fateh Alliance sees the difficulty of holding elections in this circumstance, given the great material support it needs and legal and international cover, and the preparations require us a long time."[/size]
[size=45]He stressed that "the solution to this crisis is available and in the hands of the competent judicial authorities, represented in the re-counting and comprehensive sorting of the results."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fatlawi finds that “the commission’s talk about the lack of a legal justification for the comprehensive sorting is natural, as it is accused of having defaulted on the election results and is trying to defend itself, but the reality is otherwise.”[/size]
[size=45]He called, "Those who demand reform to take all that would show real results, and not to insist on forming a lame government that will not last for a long time because it was built on false and unreal results."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fatlawi went on to say, "The objection does not now concern two-thirds of the Shiite component, but rather there are Sunni and Kurdish parties calling for a comprehensive re-counting, and this is an opinion that represents the majority of the Iraqi street and should be respected."[/size]
[size=45]For his part, a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Imad Baglan, said in a statement to Al-Mada that "the October elections have been the best in Iraq since 2003."[/size]
[size=45]Baglan added, "The forces opposed to the elections, such as Al-Fateh and Sadiq, had earlier supported the electoral law, which was the main reason for changing the outcomes, and the same is true of the current commission."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "the previous law was in the interest of the big lists," and stated that "the president of any coalition could have distributed his votes to those who joined it."[/size]
[size=45]Baglan pointed out that "the process was clear that the opposition forces got votes, but the one who won is the one with the highest, and there is no interference from the United Nations or other international bodies."[/size]
[size=45]He explained, "The position that these elections are the most honest, is not only derived from the winning forces, but the world public opinion, the international community, all observers and civil society organizations."[/size]
[size=45]Baglan expressed his "respect for all the objections that fall within the constitutional and legal frameworks, and there are appeals submitted, some of which have been resolved and others are under consideration, and we respect the judicial decision."[/size]
[size=45]Paellan ruled out, "There will be large-scale changes in the outcomes of the electoral process, and the change may happen in a narrow way with a few seats, which is normal as a result of appeals."[/size]
[size=45]It is expected that the Electoral College's appeals against the results will be completed in the coming days, and they will be referred to the Federal Supreme Court for approval.[/size]
