On November 11, the Iraqi government sets a date for the parliamentary elections – the seventh day

On Wednesday, the Iraqi Council of Ministers announced the setting of next November 11 as an official date for the parliamentary elections, amid the escalation of political differences regarding the election law and the mechanism of distributing the electoral districts.

The media office of the Iraqi Prime Minister said in an official statement.

This declaration comes at a time when the Iraqi political scene is witnessing sharp interactions, especially with the continued dispute between the parliamentary blocs over the most appropriate electoral system.

While forces demand the adoption of a single circle or a return to the closed lists system, other parties adhere to the multiple circuit system as an entrance to enhance the chances of independent candidates.

In the midst of this, the political blocs intensified their field movements, as party leaders began implementing rounds on a number of Iraqi provinces, during which they met with tribal sheikhs and civil society activities, in an attempt to explore the voters ’directions and prepare the ground for the next electoral race.

Observers expect that these elections will be a detailed station in drawing the features of the Iraqi political scene for the coming years, in light of the regional transformations and the increasing internal pressures to bring about radical political and economic reforms.
