** Iraqi political blocs mislead with leaks on election results
On Iraqi social media, charts showing the results of the parliamentary elections that took place on April 30 have gone viral. The results are even being circulated by some news agencies and television channels. The Facebook pages of the members of political blocs and parties that participated in the elections are also rushing to post the results.
A number of Iraqi politicians and political blocs have used social media for what they claim are leaked election results from last month’s parliamentary elections.
The members of the State of Law Coalition, led by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, have been making more of these early announcements through their media statements than others. However, the figures announced by the politicians have mostly seemed inaccurate.
The media officer of the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC), Aziz al-Khaikani, told Al-Monitor, “The figures circulated by the media and posted on social networks about the victory of one entity or the other are mere predictions, and the IHEC has nothing to do with them.” Khaikani added, “The announced results are merely the political blocs’ own judgment.”
He also called on the political entities to wait for the official results of the elections, which the commission will announce in an official statement at the end of May or early June.https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/orig...#ixzz31pZsOwmF
" After the conclusion of national elections, the Iraqi constitution stipulates that the CoR ( Council of Representatives / Parliament ) will vote for senior positions in the Iraqi government, including the President, the Prime Minister and his deputies, and the cabinet. Although each CoR ( Council of Representatives / Parliament ) member contributes an individual vote, in practice this voting occurs only after an agreement has been reached among the senior leaders of the political groups, invoking party loyalty and voting discipline thereafter. The selection of the cabinet requires an absolute majority of the CoR ( Council of Representatives / Parliament ) members’ votes (165 votes). In the final negotiations over government formation, even small groups can play a decisive role if they are able to provide the last few votes a governing coalition needs to clear this constitutional hurdle. "
REMEMBER, ............... Following the last election the new parliament opened on 14 June 2010 after the election on March 7th. Iraq set a record for the longest period of time without a government which lasted for about ten (10) months.
QUERY : HOW OR WHY WOULD IT TAKE SO LONG FOR PARLIAMENT TO AGREE / VOTE SUCCESSFULLY UPON A NEW GOVERNMENT ?
" The Iraqi Constitution says that the election of Iraq’s President should take place before the Prime Minister is chosen. The President needs to be chosen by a two-thirds majority in Parliament – and it is here that al-Maliki, if he can gain the support of a third of the newly elected MPs, will be able to disrupt proceedings and force his opponents to negotiate with him." , and ....................................
" So how will al-Maliki get the support of one-third of the newly elected MPs? Preliminary results indicate that he may win around 75 seats, and possibly he will also be able to claim another 15 seats won by smaller Shiite Muslim parties that support him. But the real answer is that, unexpectedly, he may well be supported by a number of smaller Sunni Muslim parties. ", and ....................
" Doubtless the haggling over who rules Iraq will take many months. And this will not have any impact on al-Maliki who will continue to head a caretaker government until positions can be filled. Al-Maliki’s government will be able to act in relatively unrestricted way during this time and it is possible that the Prime Minister and his party can use this to their advantage, to formulate bargaining chips and enticements for potential coalition partners.
