[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]A group of Shiite forces objecting to the elections are preparing an alternative plan to disrupt the decision on the election results for several days, while the Sadrist movement, which holds the largest seats, may detonate a “surprise.”[/size]
[size=45]The Federal Court was supposed to resolve the appeals submitted about a month ago by the objectors' team, the "coordinating framework", before the government decided to abruptly suspend work.[/size]
[size=45]The framework, which operates on several political fronts, expects a decision that supports its position on the election results, and the Federation decides to go to a partial manual counting and sorting.[/size]
[size=45]Baghdad witnessed confusion on the eve of the decision, as some supporters of the "framework" tried to storm sensitive government institutions with the downing of a drone.[/size]
[size=45]The Federal Court postponed the ruling on appealing the results of the parliamentary elections to the 26th of this month (yesterday), a case brought by Hadi Al-Amiri, the head of the Al-Fateh Alliance, to challenge the election results early this month.[/size]
[size=45]And the Supreme Judicial Council said - in a statement - that "the Federal Court decided to postpone the hearing of the appeal against the election results to the current day of December 26," adding that "this came after listening to the last pleas and requests of the two faltering parties."[/size]
[size=45]Hours before the scheduled date of the session, the Council of Ministers decided to suspend the official working hours on the occasion of Christmas holidays on Sunday (yesterday), which postponed the verdict until Monday.[/size]
[size=45]crisis extension[/size]
[size=45]Well-informed political sources expect that the coordination framework team will "search for a new justification for delaying the settlement of the case."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Amiri had said - during his pleading before the last Federal Court - that this lawsuit is not against any winning party; But against the poor performance of the Electoral Commission. He considered that the consensus procedures of the Electoral Commission deprived millions of Iraqis from voting on election day.[/size]
[size=45]And the sources, who asked not to be identified, added to (Al-Mada): “The framework will ask to summon the former parliament speaker, Muhammad al-Halbousi, because of the report of the German examining company.”[/size]
[size=45]According to the sources, the Shiite forces objecting to the election results "accused al-Halbousi of not reading the report before the committee."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Fateh, the plaintiff, alleges that the report indicated that there was “a defect in the vote,” while the Electoral Commission had responded by confirming that “there is no tampering with the election results and judicial decisions are the decisive and binding boundary for all.”[/size]
[size=45]The sources assume that "the Federal Court will not involve itself in a scandal with no evidence of fraud."[/size]
[size=45]Officials in the Al-Fateh Alliance had explained in a press conference earlier, the controversial points regarding the results, noting that there were malfunctions in the electronic voting.[/size]
[size=45]They reminded, on the basis of these technical reports, that the electronic fingerprints of some voters were not read, and they also wondered about the reasons for bringing in a new electronic device called “C1000” days before the elections and the failures that occurred in its use.[/size]
[size=45]The decisions of the Federal Supreme Court are final and not subject to appeal, and it is at the core of its tasks to ratify the election results to become final, but it has not previously considered any lawsuit regarding the cancellation of the results.[/size]
[size=45]The Sadr government and the confusion of the framework[/size]
[size=45]The knowledgeable sources continue that "the court will reject the appeal, and the government of the majority will be announced by the Sadrist movement with Sunni and Kurdish parties after ratifying the results and surprising everyone."[/size]
[size=45]The Sadrist bloc led by Muqtada al-Sadr topped the results by holding 73 seats, then increased to 74 after a seat joined one of the winning parties in Wasit Governorate.[/size]
[size=45]The sources indicate that the “coordinating framework” is floundering in its movement towards forming the government, “a group wants to cancel the results, another wants manual counting and sorting, and a third wants a government with the Sunnis, and another goes to Kurdistan.”[/size]
[size=45]Demonstrators in support of the Shiite group objecting to the election results have been standing in front of the green gates for more than two months, and on the eve of the federal session, they tried to storm one of the doors of the government area, with news circulating about the issuance of arrest warrants against leaders in the Popular Mobilization against the backdrop of targeting the Prime Minister's house.[/size]
[size=45]The same day witnessed the attempt of some members of the crowd to storm Baghdad International Airport under the pretext of commemorating the anniversary of the assassination of the deputy head of the crowd, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Iranian General Qassem Suleiman, two years ago, with an American raid near the airport.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, supporters of the crowd demonstrated in Al-Firdaws Square in central Baghdad, because the security forces prevented hanging pictures of the leaders of the crowd in the square, before the Baghdad airport was attacked again, but this time electronically by hackers.[/size]
[size=45]A drone had also crashed 24 hours before these events in the Mansour area, near the intelligence service building, where it is believed that the place is an alternative headquarters for Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, after threats and an attempt to assassinate him at his home in the Green Zone early this month.[/size]
[size=45]Manual counting![/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, Muhammad al-Sihoud, a member of the coordination framework, confirms that his group “trusts the decisions of the Federal Court and will not object to the results.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Zayoud, a winning candidate for the State of Law - one of the framework formations - is expected in connection with (Al-Mada) that "the Federal Court, if it accepts the appeals, will go to a manual counting and sorting decision for some districts," as Al-Amiri had asked the court to do this in 4 districts across the country. .[/size]
[size=45]Chihod added: “In all cases, whether the decision is in our favor or not, the consensus government is the only solution because the majority government has ended its conditions with the Kurdish and Sunni forces declaring their desire to participate in the government.”[/size]
