    And Al-Sharifi stated that “nearly 80% of the new alliances are shadow alliances of influential political forces, and for this reason there will be real difficulty in competing with these alliances by civil parties and new emerging forces, and for this we believe that the influential forces will impose their control over the entire electoral and governmental scene in the governorates.” ".
    He added that “the influential forces legislated the election law, according to their interest, and for this they know very well how they will run in the elections in accordance with this law, and for this reason they divided themselves into more than one official electoral alliance in their name and official addresses, and also formed shadow alliances to win the votes of the non-partisan public, who rejected them in the first place.” .
