The Head of Al-Fateh Alliance, Mr. Hadi Al-Amiri, announced a commitment to the Federal Court’s decision in the ratification of the election results, noting that his step comes “in the interest of Iraq’s stability.”
“committed to the constitution and the law, and due to our fear for Iraq’s security and political stability, and our belief in the political process and its democratic path, we adhere to the Court’s decision despite our belief that the electoral process was full with fraud and manipulation,” Al-Amiri said in a statement.
He added, “The appeals we submitted to the Court were solid, logical, and acceptable. If we submitted them to any court in any country that respects democracy, it would have been sufficient to cancel the election results.”
“Despite all this, we affirm our commitment to Court decision, which was subjected to great external and internal pressures.” He concluded.
On Monday, the Federal Supreme Court ratified the results of the Iraqi parliamentary elections that were held on October 10.
By taking this decision, the Federal Court resolved a three-month controversy over the election results, which were rejected by some blocs, including the Shiite Coordination Framework that protested the election fraud for more than two months in front of the gates of the Highly-fortified Green Zone in Baghdad.
