The National Contract Alliance in Iraq - which includes the Popular Mobilization and the Islamic Party - called on the electoral commission to reconsider the preliminary results announced for the legislative elections, at a time when the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr urged all parties that objected to the election results to exercise restraint and adhere to legal methods regarding objection. .
The coalition added in a statement that the preliminary results revealed violations that led to the wasting of the rights of a number of candidates and revealed the absence of impartiality and objectivity, as he put it.
The coalition also called on the government to take a stance that preserves the rights of the Iraqi people, stressing that it will take all legal means and democratic frameworks to protect and defend the rights of the people, according to the statement.
For his part, the Iraqi National Coalition led by Iyad Allawi expressed its categorical rejection of the preliminary results of the elections in the country.
In a statement issued by the coalition, the coalition warned that insisting on these results might lead the country into new chaos and complications with ominous consequences, as he put it.
The statement described the election results as distorted, considering that they excluded many of those who gained popular confidence, including the candidates of the National Coalition.
The statement held the government and the Electoral Commission fully responsible, calling for the detection of cases of fraud and manipulation and the parties behind them.
self-control
The coordinating body of the so-called Iraqi resistance - which includes a number of armed factions - also said that there is evidence that it described as dangerous, showing the fabrication of the preliminary results announced by the Electoral Commission, which calls for emphasizing the invalidity of the announced results, as she put it.
The commission added in a statement that what it described as tampering with the election results confirms the failure of the Electoral Commission and its incompetence, as it put it.
For his part, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, whose bloc is leading the preliminary results in the legislative elections, called on all parties that objected to these results to exercise restraint and adhere to the legal methods regarding the objection.
Al-Sadr called on these parties to show a patriotic spirit and not to resort to the ominous consequences, as he put it.
Al-Sadr said, in a tweet, that it is not important who will be the winner, but rather the important thing is to help the Iraqi people in terms of service and security.
He added that the political differences over the ballot boxes, the delay in announcing the results, and the pressure on the Electoral Commission will be the first negative results that will harm the people, not the political blocs.
