Kurdish politician Latif al-Sheikh said on Saturday (October 19, 2024) that the Iraqi government, represented by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, is interested in stability in the Kurdistan Region, so it is in its interest to form the government quickly after the elections.
The sheikh said in an interview with "Baghdad Today" that "it is in the government's interest that there are no security problems that threaten the stability of the region, and I do not expect the government to support a specific political party in the Kurdistan Parliament elections."
He added, "The government certainly does not want much change, because the presence of traditional parties is better for it, but it wants to maintain the balance between the parties, and for no party to be significantly superior to the other parties."
The Independent High Electoral Commission announced yesterday, Friday, that the number of voters in the Kurdistan Regional Parliament election (the special vote for security forces) reached 208,521 voters, representing 97%, noting that it sent all the results to its headquarters in Baghdad.
The spokesman for the commission, Ayser Yassin, said during a press conference, "The voting process in the Kurdistan Region was carried out in a good and successful manner," indicating that the number of voters in the Kurdistan Region poll reached 208,521 voters, representing 97 percent.
He added that 24 hours after the general vote, the preliminary results of the Kurdistan Region elections will be announced, explaining that all agencies have sent their information and data to the main headquarters in Baghdad (server).
Yassin confirmed that "from a technical standpoint, all the devices worked well and with complete success, indicating that the participation rate in Dohuk reached 98%, Erbil 97%, Sulaymaniyah 97%, Halabja 96%, Nineveh 43%, Kirkuk 56%, Diyala 62%, Anbar 8%, Baghdad Karkh 79%, Baghdad Rusafa 60%, Wasit 4%, and Salahuddin 54%.
The general voting process for the Kurdistan Regional Parliament elections is scheduled to begin next Sunday, in which 1,191 candidates (823 males and 368 females) are competing for 100 legislative seats in Kurdistan.
14 political parties, movements and movements, in addition to independents, are competing in the sixth electoral round in the region for 100 seats, which is the total number of seats in the Kurdistan Parliament.
The two main parties in the Kurdistan Region, the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, dominated the political map through their strategic alliance throughout the previous electoral cycles before the Change Movement joined them in this alliance to form the government during the previous electoral cycle in 2018.
The competition for parliamentary seats is fierce between the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the People's Front, which split from the Union led by Lahur Sheikh Jengi, cousin of Bafel Talabani, the Change Movement and the New Generation Movement, in addition to the Position Current led by former Change Movement MP Ali Hama Salih, and two main Islamic parties, the Kurdistan Islamic Union and the Kurdistan Justice Group.
In the last election cycle, the Kurdistan Democratic Party won 45 seats in parliament, while the Union came in second place with 21 seats, and Change came in third place with 12 seats, followed by the New Generation Movement and the Islamic Group in fourth and fifth place, respectively, with the New Generation winning 8 seats and the Group winning 7 seats, while the Alliance for Reform list affiliated with the Islamic Union came in sixth place with five seats.
Although the New Generation, the Jama'a and the Islamic Union chose to remain as opposition within parliament, they were unable to form a unified opposition front, and each played its role individually.
