The [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] that took place in Iraq following the popular "October Uprising" constituted a real turning point towards change, in addition to what it added of facts to the Iraqi reality, which was summed up in the loss of confidence in the ruling parties and forces and the exclusion of decision-makers, while the percentage of voters was 20 percent of those entitled election.
A clear message to the political forces
It becomes clear to us, through a quick reading of the picture, that the ruling [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] do not understand the message that the Iraqis sent by demonstrating in the capital and the provinces, that their system has become unacceptable and they must leave as soon as possible.

The attendance rate did not reach two-thirds of the members, which happened in the last session that took place, Saturday, March 26, 2022.

Sadr Tweet
Against the background of the session, the leader of the "Sadr movement" Muqtada al-Sadr tweeted on March 26, saying: "Thank you to everyone who attended the session out of love for Iraq. Thank you, the Homeland Alliance, an extension, the new generation, the independent brothers... These are not terrified by a threat or tempted by temptation." He stressed the importance of attending the session on Wednesday (March 30th), saying: “Your appointment will be renewed next Wednesday with those who will join again to remove corruption, dependency and consensus. A national majority government and we will not return to the Attar mixture, today we have proven and proved that there is no place for quotas, and it was the most beautiful Iraqi mosaic, neither oriental nor Western".
Waiting for an honorable pause
The private office in Najaf confirmed that al-Sadr made a phone call to the governor of Basra, Asaad al-Eidani, last Sunday, and valued his honorable position with some members of the "Design Alliance", in the presence of the parliament session that took place that day, stressing that "their position represents the beginning of the initiation Ending corruption, subordination and consociationalism to complete the formation of a national majority government.”
The leader of the Sadrist movement tweeted on the eve of the first session, calling for agitation and work as one hand for construction. He said, "We are waiting for the independent representatives, and we hope from them, and even from the national opposition, an honorable stand for their people. They are anxiously waiting for the formation of a reformist majority government. Let the loyalists and the opposition stand together to build a free, independent homeland with prestige, sovereignty and dignity, without occupation, normalization, or terrorism."

Let the loyalists and the opposition stand together to build a free, independent homeland with prestige, sovereignty and dignity, without occupation, normalization, or terrorism."
Ignore the constitution for time
The reasons for delaying the session are that the constitution does not include determinants or conditions for exceeding the constitutional deadlines, and this is what the blocs and political parties are trying to benefit from, in prolonging the time and disrupting the process. The political researcher for the Sadrist movement, Manaf al-Moussawi, said, "The matter has been finally settled for the presidency and the prime ministership. Therefore, I think that the issue will be decided within one or two sessions, and if two-thirds of the votes were not obtained in the first session, it is hoped that it will be achieved in the second session." The election is carried out by an absolute majority, and I believe that the vote was decided in the interest of national salvation."
Regarding the role of the "coordinating framework", al-Moussawi stated that the latter "is not an alliance as much as we can call it a gathering of the interests of the blocs that consider themselves harmed, and believe that there are some privileges that must be obtained and that they can attract or win independents. Thus, the framework seeks to achieve The result is in his favour. He added that "the outputs, with all their negative consequences, always fall on the citizen who pays the bill for this delay, in addition to the effects caused by the stuck situation between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the economic situation that was embodied by the rise in the prices of goods and foodstuffs."
independent decision
Against the background of the presidential election session, independent MP Ali Al-Saadi said, "We have a close meeting regarding independent representatives, Wednesday, March 30, and our decision will be national before it is political, because we are independent and we have the space to take the decision because there are no leaders heading us." Al-Saadi added, "We expect things to be difficult, but they will not be impossible. I have the honor to be the first to attend in order to reinforce the principle of democracy to end the quota government, fulfill the electoral program that I promised the public and start a new page in Iraqi politics."
Al-Saadi concluded by saying, "This is one of the duties of the parliamentary work and fulfillment of the constitutional oath that I swore, to prioritize the public interest over the private interest, regardless of the vote for this candidate or that."

The third is a Lebanese "heresy".
On the expectation of a change in attitudes, the head of the "Step" Organization for Democracy and Elections, Sarbst Mustafa, ruled out a significant change in the number of attendees or boycotts of the parliamentary session. He believed that "it is almost impossible to elect the president of the republic in Wednesday's session. This will open the door to all possibilities." Mustafa added that "the third is a Lebanese innovation that applies to the same purposes and goals in Iraq. In the event that understandings are reached by the components involved in this third in order to form the government, it will not remain unchanged and will not meet later, in my personal estimation, except in some issues related to goals that have agendas behind them. regional".
are not mass
On the other hand, the former Iraqi Minister of Science and Technology, Raed Fahmy, stated, "The independent representatives do not represent a politically homogeneous bloc, and some of them are closely related to the political blocs. It is not hidden from some of the positions of some of the independents, especially those who attended the last parliament sessions, as they support achieving a quorum for a meeting The session, and they have their own position regarding choosing the President of the Republic in the first round, and they may abstain from voting in the second round if the candidates belong to one of the two main parties in Kurdistan.” Fahmy added, "The number of these representatives ranges between 25 and 35. As for the other groups of independents, their votes are distributed in support of one of the main blocs or coalitions, or they are still vacillating and indecisive, and they are subjected to pressures and temptations to resolve their position in favor of attending the next session of the House of Representatives or boycotted it."
One of the satellite channels announced its rejection of the "coordinating framework", which mostly includes the "popular mobilization" factions, rejecting "the methods of intimidation and threats directed against the independent representatives", who represent 40 deputies out of 329. It sought to provide them with protection following threats against them after their boycott Parliament's last session.
In this context, Fahmy considered that "in the event that the tripartite alliance or the coordination framework fails to secure a quorum, Wednesday's session will be postponed for a few more days to allow more time for negotiations between the blocs, in order to reach agreed upon solutions."
Fahmy stressed that "it is not expected that any consensual result will be reached as required by the coordination framework. If neither side succeeds in obtaining a decisive majority, the current situation will lead to maintaining the current government, as a caretaker government with an outgoing president, but A project that will continue according to the decision of the Federal Court.
