[size=52]Individual candidates control 12% of parliament seats, and their votes exceed those of Shiite forces[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]Individual candidates won less than a third of the total votes they received in the last early legislative elections. According to some estimates, the individual candidates won more than half of the votes of the known Shiite forces combined in the 2021 elections, and more than the votes of the Sadrist movement in 2018. According to those estimates, the total votes of the individual candidates achieved 15% of the total number of actual voters.[/size]
[size=45]The winning candidates accounted for only 5% of the total voting population, while they controlled 12% of the parliament's seats.[/size]
[size=45]Only 5% of the individual candidates won the last October elections, and their numbers reached about 800 candidates.[/size]
[size=45]There are about a quarter of the individual winning candidates are representatives and ministers, while most of them (the winners) entered into alliances that they described as independent. Baghdad topped the top of the provinces for which individual candidates won, and amounted to about 9% of the two total winners in the capital.[/size]
[size=45]Then come Babylon, Anbar and Najaf, while two provinces, one of them in Kurdistan, did not record any victory for individual candidates.[/size]
[size=45]Individual candidates in 14 provinces won 40 seats, equivalent to 27 percent of the 329 parliament seats.[/size]
[size=45]This number of seats makes the independents ranked second in the ranking of winners in the last elections, after the Sadrist movement, which won 73 seats.[/size]
[size=45]The votes of the winners amounted to more than 520 thousand votes, while it is estimated that there is a waste of votes of more than twice that number obtained by individual candidates, but they did not get seats.[/size]
[size=45]According to estimates, the total votes of all the candidates (winners and losers) amounted to about one million and 800 thousand votes.[/size]
[size=45]This means that the independents obtained more than half of what the Shiite forces achieved, which collected 2,500,000 votes in the last elections, and more than the Sairoon Alliance (Al-Sadr) in 2018, which at that time collected more than 1,500,000 votes.[/size]
[size=45]And if the “Saint-Lego” method is applied, the rate that was used to allocate seats to the winners in 2018, the quota of individuals according to the results of 2021 will be 60 seats. Twenty-four individual winning candidates had joined the "Independent Iraq Alliance", while four others joined the "Independent Popular Bloc", a force that was recently established.[/size]
