    Baghdad/Al-Masala: Accusations of fraud and escalation of accusations between Kurdish parties raise a wave of doubts about the integrity of the electoral process in the Kurdistan Region, as the parties’ positions varied between rejection and skepticism, and the announced reasons for the withdrawal of some small blocs from joining parliament were many.
    It seems that the deeper purpose behind these statements is to pressure to improve the terms of negotiations regarding the formation of the next government, and to invest the political moment to obtain additional positional gains.
    In this context, the Kurdistan Islamic Justice Group is one of the most prominent blocs that announced its refusal to participate in parliament, despite winning three seats, due to what it described as widespread fraud that affected the elections.
    This move appears to be part of a strategy by small blocs seeking to strengthen their political weight by adopting strong and tenacious positions, which may push the major parties to make concessions.
    People close to the Justice Group have indicated that it aims, through this step, to force the Kurdistan Democratic Party to provide guarantees or additional seats as moral compensation that would satisfy its supporters.
    In a related context, the victory of the Kurdistan Democratic Party over its traditional rival, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, sparked a new phase of the conflict of political wills, as each party seeks to gather allies and attempt to form a bloc capable of achieving the quorum of half plus one of the total of one hundred seats to form the government.
    According to political observers, the Democratic Party sees itself as the most deserving of leading the government, especially after achieving significant progress over its competitor in a number of electoral districts, which strengthens its negotiating position with other forces, especially with the decline of the National Union, which was unable to achieve the expected gains.
    For their part, the small parties stand between hesitation and constant pressure from the large blocs, as they make promises to increase the number of their seats in the new government in exchange for their support for certain alliances.
    One of the most prominent parties that announced that it would not participate in the next parliament is the Al-Mawqif movement led by Ali Hama Saleh, who won four parliamentary seats. He announced his rejection as a result of what he described as major violations and fraud that marred the electoral process. Saleh and his supporters believe that their decision aims to raise awareness among the Kurdish street about the need to reform the electoral system and ensure transparency in the upcoming political processes.
    On the other hand, Democratic Party supporters accuse the smaller parties of using allegations of fraud as an excuse to justify their weak popularity and inability to convince voters of their programs, and they describe these accusations as attempts to cover up the failure of those parties to attract voters.
    “The party has a clear program and broad popular support,” says one Democratic Party supporter, “and these accusations are just a way to distract from the small parties’ lack of political vision and ability to influence.”
    Stories are circulating on the Kurdish street about former candidates who withdrew due to potential threats, and others about temptations offered to some candidates to gain their loyalty.
    Some citizens in Erbil are saying that there were secret meetings between leaders of small parties and figures from the Democratic Party, where discussions took place about how to distribute ministerial positions if they support the next government.
    According to the results announced by the Electoral Commission, the Democratic Party won about 710,000 votes to win 39 seats in the 100-seat parliament.
    About 340,000 people voted for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, which won 23 seats in parliament.
    The New Generation Party, which is a competitor to the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan in its stronghold in Sulaymaniyah, increased its number of votes from 127,115 votes (8 seats) in the 2018 elections to about 270,000 votes, raising its number of seats to 15 seats.
    The Change Party suffered a defeat in the elections, as it obtained only about 11,000 votes, achieving one seat, while it had 12 seats after the 2018 elections.
    The Kurdistan Islamic Union Party won 7 seats, the Kurdistan Justice Party won 3 seats, and the newly established Al-Mawqif Party won 4 seats.
    The Popular Front Party, headed by Lahur Sheikh Jangi, won two seats, while the Kurdistan Regional Alliance Party won one seat.
    The final turnout in the Kurdistan Regional Parliament elections in northern Iraq was 72 percent, while the voting rate in Erbil Governorate was 74 percent, in Sulaymaniyah 65 percent, in Halabja 69 percent, and in Dohuk 78 percent.
