[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]The Shiite forces that ran in the recent early elections lost about half of the votes they achieved in the 2018 poll. These parties lost more than 60 seats from the last elections, which is equivalent to about 32% of the number of seats reserved by these currents in 2018.[/size]
[size=45]The figures show the low popularity of these parties if their votes in 2021 were divided according to the way seats were distributed in 2018, as they would lose more than half of the seats achieved in the last poll.[/size]
[size=45]The victory coalition bore the heaviest loss, with a loss rate of 40% of the total loss of the Shiite forces.[/size]
[size=45]It is followed by the Al-Fateh alliance, its loss amounted to 36%, the Sadrist movement 24%, the Wisdom Movement (the Alliance of Powers) 20%, and the least loss of State of Law by 8%.[/size]
[size=45]According to the "unofficially ratified" results, the number of Shiite forces' votes in the last elections amounted to about 2,500,000.[/size]
[size=45]Together, these forces achieved 128 out of 329 seats in Parliament, compared to 190 seats achieved by the same parties in the 2018 elections, which means a loss of 62 seats.[/size]
[size=45]These same parties and alliances collected in the 2018 elections more than 5 million votes, which is almost the same amount of votes in the previous elections in 2014.[/size]
[size=45]The first winner, what did he lose?[/size]
[size=45]The highest Shiite votes and seats and all political forces, the Sadrist movement or the "Sadr bloc" led by Muqtada al-Sadr, got 73 seats.[/size]
[size=45]The total votes of the bloc amounted to more than 885 thousand votes, which means (9%) of the total voting voters, who numbered about 10 million votes, according to the Electoral Commission.[/size]
[size=45]The current, compared to the results of 2018, lost more than 617,000 votes, but added 19 seats to its share in those elections.[/size]
[size=45]The Sadrists and within the Sairoon Alliance, through which they ran in the previous elections, collected at the time more than one million and 502 thousand votes, equivalent at that time to 13% of the total vote.[/size]
[size=45]According to the Electoral Commission at the time, the total number of voters at that time was about 11 million.[/size]
[size=45]And if the “Saint Legault” method is applied, the rate that was used to allocate seats to the winners in 2018, the current’s share, according to the results of 2021, will be 32 seats.[/size]
[size=45]The votes of the Sadrist movement, or "the Free" and "the elites" that ran in the elections at the time under these two names, amounted to more than one million and 100 thousand votes, and collected 34 seats.[/size]

[size=45]On the other hand, the Al-Fateh Alliance - the political umbrella of the Popular Mobilization Forces - led by the head of the Badr Organization Hadi Al-Amiri, lost more than 902,000 votes for what it gathered in the 2018 elections.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fateh, which includes 6 currents, the most prominent of which are Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq and the Supreme Council, in the last elections collected more than 467,000 votes, equivalent to 5% of the votes of all voters across the country.[/size]
[size=45]The coalition achieved 17 seats, which means losing 31 seats from its share in the 2018 elections, when it obtained 48 and came second at the time after the leader of the Sairoon Alliance in 2018.[/size]
[size=45]The total votes of the Al-Fateh Alliance in the 2018 elections amounted to more than one million and 370 thousand votes, which at that time meant 12% of the total number of voters.[/size]
[size=45]If Al-Fateh’s numbers collected in 2021 are divided by the way seats were distributed in 2018, no change will appear, and its seats will be approximately 17 as well.[/size]
[size=45]The alliance of al-Hakim and al-Abadi[/size]
[size=45]The third Shiite force is the Wisdom Movement, which ran in the elections this time under the name “Coalition of State Forces” with the Victory Alliance. It lost more than 348,000 votes for its results in 2018.[/size]
[size=45]The Wisdom Movement led by Ammar al-Hakim, within the “Alliance of Forces” alone won only two seats, which means losing 17 seats than its share in 2018.[/size]
[size=45]In the last elections, Al-Hikma won 19 seats, and his votes reached more than 577 thousand votes, which means 5% of the total votes cast.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the voices of wisdom in 2021 amounted to about 300,000 votes, which is equivalent to 3% of the total voters.[/size]
[size=45]In the event that “Saint Legault” is applied to the votes collected by Al-Hikma in 2021, the number of seats will be 9.[/size]
[size=45]The votes of the Wisdom Movement in the 2014 elections, which bore the name “Citizen” at the time, amounted to about 98,000 votes, and collected 29 seats.[/size]
[size=45]As for the other part of the "state forces", which is the victory coalition led by the former prime minister, its loss was the most severe, as it lost more than a million votes for its results in 2018.[/size]
[size=45]In the last elections, Al-Nasr won two seats as well, and the number of its votes reached more than 120,000 votes, equivalent to 1.2% of the total voters in Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Nasr lost 42 seats from its results in 2018, when it won 44 seats, and the number of its votes at the time reached more than one million and 100,000 votes, equivalent at the time to 11% of the total votes.[/size]
[size=45]If the votes obtained by Al-Nasr in 2021 were applied to the way the votes were divided in the 2018 elections, then his share would be 5 seats.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki is the least loser[/size]
[size=45]Meanwhile, the State of Law coalition led by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki won 9 seats more than its share in the 2018 elections.[/size]
[size=45]The coalition, which is running in the three elections in a row under the same name, won in the last poll 34 seats, but it also lost hundreds of thousands of votes.[/size]
[size=45]Rule of Law The number of his votes in the 2021 elections reached more than 522,000, equivalent to 5% of the actual votes cast, compared to more than 726,000 votes in 2018, which means a loss of about 200 thousand votes.[/size]
[size=45]The percentage of the state of law’s votes in the last elections compared to the number of voters at the time was 6%, while it would have 18 seats if its votes in the last elections were divided according to the “modified Saint Legault” method.[/size]
[size=45]The results of the rule of law achieved first place in the 2014 elections, when it collected at that time more than 3 million and 100 thousand votes, with 92 seats.[/size]
[size=45]Likewise, if the total votes of the Shiite forces in 2021 were divided according to the 2018 elections, the number of their seats combined would be 96.[/size]
