[size=45]Translation/ Hamed Ahmed[/size]
[size=45]A report spoke of a close division in the coordination framework that speeds up the formation of the government, expecting the Federal Supreme Court to respond to most of the appeals against the elections, indicating that the blocs of the State of Law, Victory, Wisdom and Al-Fateh coalition will submit to the current results, while it is expected that other forces that own armed factions will remain in the street by moving their audience or Targeting US interests in Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]A report by Al-Monitor and The National News website, translated by Al-Mada, stated that “the protests of losing parties over the election results in Iraq, claiming fraud and manipulation of them would delay the formation of a new government for a longer period of time.”[/size]
[size=45]The position of the Federal Supreme Court[/size]
[size=45]The report added, "Those parties, which aim to annul these results, are waiting for the Federal Supreme Court to rule on the lawsuit filed by Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance, who described canceling the election results as the only way out of the current political crisis." He pointed out that "the forces of the parties that lost their seats in parliament, including the Al-Fateh Alliance, the Wisdom Movement and the Victory Alliance, since the October 10 elections, have refused to accept the results and have formed the so-called coordinating framework with the participation of the State of Law coalition."[/size]
[size=45]He explained, "The Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr emerged as the biggest winner in the elections by winning 73 seats in the new parliament, which consists of 329 seats, while the Al-Fateh Alliance won only 17 seats, which used to occupy 45 seats in the previous parliament."[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that "the head of the Al-Fateh Alliance had filed a lawsuit at the beginning of this month with the Federal Supreme Court, in which he indicated that there had been fraud in the elections, calling for the results to be annulled."[/size]
[size=45]And he stated, "The court has set the date of December 13, Monday, to consider the lawsuit filed by Al-Amiri, who said in his statements after hearing his complaint: We will abide by the court's decision even if it does not do us justice."[/size]
[size=45]The report also quotes Al-Amiri that "the results of the current elections have put the country in trouble, and we reject any international effort aimed at imposing its will and interfering in our internal affairs."[/size]
[size=45]And he continued, "The judge decided, after opening the session to consider the case, to postpone consideration of the case for another nine days until the current date of December 22."[/size]
[size=45]The report finds, “All indications are that the Supreme Court will ratify the final election results and reject most of the appeals for many reasons, including the weak evidence presented by the objectors.”[/size]
[size=45]And he spoke about the “important praise from international and regional organizations for the elections,” stressing the impossibility of “holding new elections in accordance with the constitution unless Parliament decides to do so, which means that the new parliament must vote to dissolve itself.”[/size]
[size=45]The losers battle for time[/size]
[size=45]He continues, "The losing parties, on the other hand, not only rejected the results, but also wanted to form a new High Elections Commission and enact a new law, but it is clear that this will not happen." The report quotes political analyst Hadi Jallow Maree, saying that "things will now be at an impasse with regard to negotiations between the political parties to form the new government."[/size]
[size=45]The report went on to say, "The picture seems unclear as to whether this case will delay the court's ratification of the final results sent to it by the Independent High Electoral Commission at the beginning of this month."[/size]
[size=45]Marei promised, according to the report, that “the ongoing battle is a battle to gain more time for those who lost the elections because they know that a decision to cancel the results is not possible, and that the coordinating framework, formed primarily by Fatah and the rule of law, wants more time to reach understandings or Form alliances with other players to confront the Sadr bloc.”[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed out that "the Progress Party led by former Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi won 37 seats, and it follows the Sadrist coalition in the number of seats, and then the State of Law coalition headed by Nuri al-Maliki, who came third with 33 seats."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr meeting and the coordination framework[/size]
[size=45]He added, "Al-Amiri hosted a meeting this month in which he brought together the conflicting parties face to face with Al-Sadr in an attempt to calm the atmosphere between the leaders of the Shiite house. No agreement was reached in the meeting, and all parties came out, each of them insisting on its demands.[/size]
[size=45]The report continues, "Al-Sadr had refused to participate in a consensual government with the losing parties, preferring to go to a parliamentary opposition instead."[/size]
[size=45]He added, "Al-Sadr blamed the security breaches that took place in some provinces during the past few days on the parties opposing the election results."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr had stated in a statement that “the return of terrorism represented by ISIS in the Makhmour area and the political bombings in Basra, and some assassinations from here and there, foretell a worsening of the political situation, and their resort to violence, which will drag the country into danger for the sake of some seats.”[/size]
[size=45]The report continues, "Observers believe that there are three upcoming events that are expected to lead to an important change in the political scene, and may also lead to some political parties leaving the coordination framework."[/size]
[size=45]A close split in the ranks of the opponents[/size]
[size=45]He stated, "The first event is the ratification of the final results of the elections, the second is the first session of the new parliament when it convenes, and the third is the withdrawal of foreign forces from the country scheduled for the end of this month according to an agreement between Baghdad and Washington."[/size]
[size=45]The report went on to state that “a section of the coordination framework parties, such as the Badr Organization, the Wisdom Movement, the Victory Alliance, and even the State of Law coalition, may give up and attend the first parliament session, or participate in a ministry led by al-Sadr.”[/size]
[size=45]And he added, "Armed factions such as Asaib Ahl al-Haq and Hezbollah Brigades may keep their supporters present in the street to continue protesting for a longer period, or carry out their threat to target American interests and bases."[/size]
[size=45]And the report went on, that "the expected division within the coordination framework may facilitate the process of forming the new government, especially if al-Sadr agreed to include part of the framework parties."[/size]
