Iraq 06:50 PM - 2021-01-16

.

An observer of political affairs confirmed, today, Saturday, that holding early elections on the date set by the government is extremely difficult, indicating that it is not impossible.

 

Iraqi PM Mustafa Al-Kadhimi had set June 6, 2021, as the date for holding early elections.

 

In a special statement to PUKmedia, an analyst and observer of political affairs, Ali Al-Baidar said that holding early elections on the date set by the government is a very difficult issue, but it is not impossible.

 

Al-Baidar added that the process of holding the elections on time depends on the political will, indicating that many political blocs do not want to hold the elections on the specified date for fear of losing the election, adding: "The political blocs are discussing the elections without taking into account the wishes of the Iraqis.

 

The political analyst indicated that political weapons are one of the tools to obstruct the electoral process, and that the awareness of the Iraqis has become greater than the maneuvers of some political blocs that have changed their addresses with others that are compatible with the demands of the masses.

 

Al-Baidar asserted that boycotting the elections is in the interest of the power parties that have an organized audience capable of making them win, indicating that effective participation in the elections is the beginning of reform change and the process of updating the voter register is the first step for that.
