The repeated postponement of the date for announcing the results of the parliamentary elections in Iraq that took place on the tenth of last October, as well as the results of the investigation into the assassination attempt on Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, sparked ridicule and controversy on social media platforms.
Politician Laith Shubr believes, through his Twitter account, that the delay in announcing and ratifying the election results has become a common occurrence and a play that is repeated in every election, and "after that, the play of forming the government and its government program, eliminating corruption and withdrawing weapons..." is repeated.
Shubr added, "Without a doubt, the plays of this system are many and varied, but their ends are the same."
It is not surprising the delay in announcing and ratifying the election results, because this play is repeated in every election, after which the play of forming a government is repeated, and then the play of the government program, eliminating corruption and withdrawing weapons, is
repeated.

The head of the Calwadha Center for Studies, Basil Hussein, said, through his Twitter account, that 50 days have passed since the elections were held without announcing their final results, although the maximum limit according to the law does not exceed 20 days.
We entered the fiftieth day, and the election results are still in the dark, despite the fact that the Commission’s Law No. 31 of 2019 in AD 20 sets the time periods with 3 days for appeals, then 7 days for the commission to consider, and 10 days for the judiciary, then the results are announced, meaning that the maximum limit for announcing the results is according to Law 20 days

Journalist Falah Al-Mishal commented on his Twitter account, saying that the goal of delaying the announcement of the results of the assassination attempt and the results of the elections is to absorb the reactions, and then close the two files on the principle of "forgiving is generous."
Announcing the results of the attempt to assassinate Al-Kazemi will become like the results of the elections every day, with delays and leaks behind them, until the protector cools down and the forgiveness is generous.

The former deputy and a leader in the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Majid Shankali, wrote on his Twitter account, that revealing the results of the investigation committee into the assassination attempt on Al-Kazemi needs to form a new higher committee to look into the reasons for this, and sarcastically called for giving the Electoral Commission a third role, similar to the students of the third preparatory and sixth Secondary may they succeed, which is unlikely.
Revealing the results of the investigation committee into the attempt to assassinate Al-Kazemi requires the formation of a new higher committee to discuss the reasons for not revealing the results and so on from the formation of the committees.
Or a request to give them a third role, just like the students of the third intermediate and sixth preparatory, perhaps and perhaps they will succeed in what they failed in previously, although I exclude that.# Iraq

Politician Abdul Bari Al-Zibari wrote, on his Twitter account, that even if the results of the investigation into targeting Al-Kazemi were issued, they would be ambiguous, similar to the bombing of Parliament in 2008 and the fall of Mosul in 2014, "despite the availability of all the facts."
Al-Zibari added that if the outcome of the investigation is not conclusive, then the chances of renewing Al-Kazemi's mandate will diminish.
Hear about the results of the
investigation into targeting Kazemi
ruled the
piece and even if released would be a mystery and will hide the
facts about the
citizen ,
as happened in the
bombing Alپrlman in 2007 and the
fall of
Mosul in 2014 ,
despite the
availability of
all the
facts
difference if the
report was not clear
Vfrs second session of Mr. Kazmi become impossible # enough_again
