[size=45]Baghdad/ Firas Adnan[/size]
[size=45]The Sadrist movement, led by Muqtada al-Sadr, did not attach importance to the objections to the election results, and confirmed the continuation of the negotiations to form the government, and said that he was running in them comfortably after obtaining the first place and by a large difference from his competitors, and he spoke of acceptance by other blocs that announced their desire to ally with him.[/size]
[size=45]But his rival, the Al-Fateh Alliance, led by Hadi al-Amiri, refuses to enter into government formation dialogues without resolving his appeals to the elections, and called for the adoption of manual counting and sorting on all results, warning of what he considered wasting his votes.[/size]
[size=45]A member of the Sadrist movement, Ahmed al-Rubaie, said in a statement to (Al-Mada), that "the Sadrists' orientations are open towards building the state and building a peaceful society that respects the Iraqi components, formations and spectrum."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rubaie continued, "The current has not, so far, spoken about names nominated for the position of Prime Minister as far as the general framework is concerned and national trends consistent with the Iraqi street's vision of the general situation."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, "The texts of the constitution and the law authorize us, according to the results of the current elections, to form the next government."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rubaie pointed out, "We are currently conducting contacts and discussions with the rest of the political forces, and we are in a comfortable position, and we have a majority that enables us to negotiate the formation of the government headed by Sadrist ministers."[/size]
[size=45]He explained, "The Sadrists respect the movement of the other blocs as long as they are within the framework of the constitution and the law, but we are, until the present time, qualified to choose the prime minister for constitutional and other reasons related to the acceptability we have in the face of other blocs."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rubaie expects, “The Sadrists’ dialogues will be productive and lead them to form the next government,” noting that “our goals are clear, previously announced before the elections, related to building the state and eliminating corruption, and these and other visions express the will of the Iraqi people and we are moving according to these goals.” .[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "many positive messages have been received from various political forces, and there is a great desire from others that we have seen that they wish to ally with us."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rubaie stated, “The results of the negotiations cannot be disclosed at the present time, because there is a negotiating committee formed by the Sadrist movement that includes Hassan al-Adhari, Nabil al-Tarifi, Nassar al-Rubaie and Hakim al-Zamili, and they will inform public opinion of what is being reached with all transparency.”[/size]
[size=45]And he stressed, "The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, stressed not to allow interference in Iraqi affairs from any country, as well as the case for the formation of the government as one of the premises of independence."[/size]
[size=45]And Al-Rubaie added, "The Iraqi people also agree with us that the formation of the government is an internal affair, and no other countries, whoever they are, should have a position or opinion on it."[/size]
[size=45]He explained, "Our position on any threat to the commission within the framework of rejecting the election results is rejection, and the state has a constitution and everyone must respect it and submit to the democratic process and its outcomes."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rubaie went on to say, “Those who have a position on the results and doubt them have before them the legal methods of appeal, and in this way we reach safety and preserve civil peace.”[/size]
[size=45]For his part, the former deputy of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Qusai Abbas, said in a statement to (Al-Mada), that “the issue of forming the next government and who has the right to do so should be discussed after considering the appeals against the election results.”[/size]
[size=45]Abbas continued, "We are suffering from great concern at the present time, as a result of what we see as the loss of our votes and the great difference between what we received in the tapes of results and what was announced by the Independent High Electoral Commission."[/size]
[size=45]He called, “all concerned parties to preserve the democratic process and not to waste the will of the Iraqi citizen; Because we are facing a great challenge, which is the presence of clear violations in the electoral process.”[/size]
[size=45]Abbas added, "The violations confirmed the significant halt in a number of polling stations on the day of the general vote and for many hours."[/size]
[size=45]He stated, "Our position is clear, which is to reject the results of the elections in their current form, and we warn against proceeding with them on these grounds."[/size]
[size=45]Abbas concluded, “The solution is through manual counting and sorting of all results as soon as possible, and then the truth of these results will become clear, and then we will go to the options for forming a government according to the provisions of the Iraqi constitution.”[/size]
[size=45]The results of the elections that were held on the tenth of this month resulted in the Sadrists winning 73 seats, and their leader Muqtada al-Sadr confirmed that his current would be the largest bloc and would form the government according to a national curriculum that includes a number of paragraphs, most notably confining arms to the state, eliminating corruption and achieving reform.[/size]
