Iraq Election Commission: Objections Won’t Change Preliminary Results

Iraq’s electoral commission announced that objections to the recent parliamentary election results will not alter the preliminary outcomes, classified as complaints rather than appeals. Legal adviser Hassan Salman noted that complaints are categorized by severity, with no significant “red” complaints recorded. The final results are expected to be certified next week, allowing for a three-day appeal period. Preliminary results indicate Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s Reconstruction and Development Coalition is in first place.
