These agreements, which took place behind the scenes, after parliamentary blocs surprised the fall of most of the candidates during the interviews conducted by the Committee of parliamentary experts, and the lack of most of them with high ratings compared to independent candidates, who received the highest grades to ensure that the seats in the new Council of the Commission.


The political blocs, through their representatives in the parliamentary committee, leaked questions and answers, which are presented to each interviewer, to their loyalists in order to ensure that they get the highest ratings that will help them reach the final stage.
A member of the Parliamentary Experts Committee fears the attempts of political blocs seeking to return to quotas in the sharing of the Council of the new Electoral Commission, pointing out that each parliamentary bloc candidate strongly defend him within the Committee to secure the best ratings to be accompanied by winning one of the nine seats.

In a tone of pessimism, he speaks to Al-Mida, asking not to be identified, saying that "
These interventions will affect the neutrality and professionalism of the work of the upcoming Electoral Commission, which will be similar to the current, which is described as captive to the mood of the parliamentary blocs. " The member of the parliamentary expert committee methods used by the blocks to pass candidates at all stages of the evaluation, revealing contacts made by heads of blocs with most members The Committee of Experts, in addition to the movements of its representatives to raise the ratings of their candidates with the aim of crossing them to a later stage.

The member of the Committee of Experts that "the political blocs invented new means to allow their candidates to get the highest grades by leaking questions to the candidates with their answers," pointing out that "these procedures give these candidates, who are currently interviewed in the Committee of Experts, the degrees of qualification to cross into the stage coming".

Parliamentary blocs resorted to the process of smuggling questions after I realized the existence of independent candidates have received high grades to ensure them to get seats in the new Board of Commissioners compared to candidates who have received a modest degree compared to the independents.

"  
The member of the Committee that" my work "The selection of new commissioners has become similar to a prepared scenario intended to obscure the Iraqi street, which strongly reserves the work of the political blocs and the Electoral Commission," asserting that "there are candidates were deported and the section interviewed are not aware of this play."
The political blocs are divided between a supporter of the Electoral Commission and a rejection of its survival after the House voted in April, not to be satisfied with the answers of the Council of the Electoral Commission. One camp vote was not convinced by UNHCR's answers with 119 votes against the latter, compared with 118 in favor, and 15 MPs preferred to keep the ballot papers white. A deal signed by political blocs in May delayed the withdrawal of confidence from the Electoral Commission until 45 days after it was scheduled for the first of the same month. Under the deal, the political forces and the parliamentary committee of experts must submit a new council to the House of Representatives during the agreed period.

The MP pointed out that "the National Alliance tried to acquit the Turkmen component to his side when he gave one of his seats to a Turkmen Turkmen Shiites, which led to the reservation of the Turkomen Sunnis who pushed their own candidate," adding that "the Christian component also calls for a seat of these seats."
"After this distribution, the minorities were removed For the component of the Yazidi, who submitted a proposal to amend the law of the Commission allows the addition of two new seats to the Council of the Commission is allocated to the components of Christian and Yazidi. "The MP that"
The Shiite blocs are still negotiating between them on the distribution of the five seats allocated to them, as well as the Sunni blocs did not reach an agreement in this regard.

Political blocs, empowered by the presidency of the House of Representatives, are engaged in secret and undeclared negotiations with some members of the current Electoral Commission to persuade them to withdraw their nominations to the new Commission. These moves collided with the insistence of two members out of six members of the Board of Commission refuse to withdraw their candidacy, threatening the parliament to resort to appeal before the Federal Court in the event of exclusion from the competition.
The parliamentary committee of experts will have to set a date for the two members to meet mid-week, as scheduled for 123 candidates competing for nine seats. The Parliamentary Committee of Experts recently concluded an interview with 35 candidates and hopes to complete an interview of more than 80 candidates.
