    Baghdad Today - Follow-up
    The London-based Al-Arab newspaper, today, Saturday, talked about the intensification of the coordination framework in Iraq in its efforts to amend the current electoral law, which it holds responsible for the recent electoral setback it suffered, and the framework proposes a return to the “Saint Lego” law, which is in the interest of coalitions major at the expense of minor political forces.

    And the newspaper stated, in a report it followed (Baghdad Today), that "the efforts of the major political blocs in Iraq to change the electoral law raise the concern of the civil components and emerging parties, which fear that such amendments will come at their expense, in light of the escalating talk of a tendency to re-work One district system for each governorate.

    And she continued, "The major political forces, especially those affiliated with the Shiite Coordination Framework Alliance, hold the current electoral law responsible for the decline in their fortunes in the previous legislative elections that took place in September of last year," adding that "these forces believe that the existing electoral law has led to the dispersion of Its popular bases are among the different constituencies, and today it is seeking to remedy the matter in preparation for the next election, after it succeeded in overcoming the recent electoral setback it suffered, and regaining control of the helm of power after the withdrawal of the Sadrist movement from the

    scene.Parliament member Salah Al-Tamimi confirmed, according to the report, There is a consensus among the political parties to amend the election law, saying that “the political parties unanimously agreed to make amendments to the election law.”

    He added, "Efforts and meetings have been intensified to end this file." And he continued, "If the legislative recess ends, the law will be approved, as the first stages of amending the law have begun, especially in terms of political consensus and meetings."

    The former Iraqi prime minister and leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, had confirmed earlier this month that the Coordinating Framework coalition sought to return to the old election law known as “St. Lego” according to an electoral denominator of 1.7 in one constituency.

    Al-Maliki said in an interview with a local channel: “All political blocs with the change of the election law to the rule of St. Lego 1.7, which means that the province returns to become one district, because I am not convinced of the previous law.”

    And the newspaper stated that “St. Lego” is a mathematical method for distributing the votes of voters to the participating electoral lists, so the votes are divided by 1.3 upwards, at which time the small lists get greater chances of winning parliamentary seats, and the higher the electoral denominator, that is, from 1.6 and more, the less chances. Those lists have increased the seats of large coalitions.

    The emerging parties and civil forces in Iraq, according to the report, believe that returning to this law serves the interests of the major powers, and it constitutes a dangerous regression from the promises that were made against the background of the unprecedented popular movement that Iraq witnessed in October 2019, including the reform of the political system.

    Thanks to the current law, civil and independent forces, most notably the “Imtidad” movement, the “New Generation” movement, and “Ishraqa Kanun” movement, succeeded in achieving important results in the previous elections, as they won 49 seats in the new parliament (out of 329).

    The representative of Ishraqa Canon, Mustafa Al-Karawi, criticized what is being promoted about amending the electoral law, saying, “The most appropriate law for elections is the law that was adopted in the previous elections in 2021, which is the adoption of multiple constituencies, which is more equitable, given that there has been a fair distribution of representation of regions.” And the candidate wins his votes, not depending on the votes of the head of his bloc, and therefore he will be indebted to him because he won the votes of others.

    The representative of the “Ishraqa Canon” bloc noted in press statements the importance of “whoever wins the votes, and whose merit is more, especially those who have a popular and popular biography, will have a greater chance of winning the elections, and thus the existence of a true representation of the people’s opinion.”

    Parliament member Salah Al-Tamimi confirmed that there is a consensus among the political parties to amend the election law. Al-Tamimi said in press statements that "the political parties unanimously agreed to make amendments to the election law," adding that "efforts and meetings have been intensified to end this file." And he continued, "If the legislative recess ends, the law will be approved, as the first stages of amending the law have begun, especially in terms of political consensus and meetings."

    Observers expect the Coordination Framework to speed up its moves in terms of amending the electoral law, as it approved the government program that included holding new elections within a year.

    And the Iraqi Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia’a Al-Sudani, had put forward in his government program a package of timings related to the elections, starting with amending the current law within three months of granting his government the confidence of the House of Representatives, and holding elections a year later, provided that it does not exceed in its time ceiling the end of the year 2023, And to be preceded by the provincial council elections, which have been stalled since 2018.
