Στα ύψη η αποχή στις πρώτες εκλογές μετά την ήττα του ΙSIS

Ούτε ένας στους δύο ψηφοφόρους δεν πήγε να ψηφίσει στο Σάββατο στις βουλευτικές εκλογές που διεξήχθησαν στο Ιράκ, την πρώτη εκλογική αναμέτρηση για την ανανέωση του κοινοβουλίου μετά την νίκη επί των τζιχαντιστών της οργάνωσης Ισλαμικό Κράτος, ανακοίνωσε η εκλογική επιτροπή.

Η συμμετοχή ανήλθε σε ποσοστό 44,52%, ήτοι το υψηλότερο ποσοστό αποχής μετά τις πρώτες πολυκομματικές εκλογές στη χώρα το 2005.

Οι Τουρκμένοι υποστηρίζουν ότι τους έκλεψαν

Kirkuk’s acting governor and Turkmen leader both call for manual recount

Rakan Saeed, acting governor of Kirkuk, has rejected the unofficial election results in the disputed city.

He called on the three presidencies of Iraq to move polling boxes immediately to the national center in Baghdad, according to his Facebook account.

He also called on the three presidencies to “impose manual counting” of votes.

Arshad Salihi, head of Iraqi Turkmen Front (ITC), also rejected the preliminary results and called for manual counting.

“All the fear we had [before the elections] became real today. The proof [for this] is that today the people of Kirkuk are protesting [the unofficial results],” Salihi said in a presser.

He indirectly accused the PUK of fraudulence, claiming Kirkuk’s electronic voting machines were tested in Sulaimani, making their results suspect.

“We were surprised by the fraudulence through the electronic voting machines,” he said.

He also called on security forces to “secure” ballot boxes.

“We call on security forces in Kirkuk to secure the boxes and prevent playing with them.”

He called on the election commission to “impose manual counting of votes in Kirkuk.”

Ο Μπαρζανί ισχυρίζεται ότι κέρδισε στο ιρακινό Κουρδιστάν μεγάλη νίκη και δεν αναγνωρίζει το αποτέλεσμα

KDP rejects Sulaimani result, claims landslide victory elsewhere

The KDP has claimed a “landslide” in Duhok, Erbil, and areas of Mosul, but has joined other parties in rejecting the result in Sulaimani.

The “KDP is the strongest and the most popular party in Kurdistan,” tweeted Hemin Hawrami, senior assistant to president of the party Masoud Barzani.

He claimed that exit polls reveal a “landslide majority” in Duhok, Erbil, and Kurdistani areas of Mosul.

He said the party joined all the others in Sulaimani, “except PUK,” to reject results there, alleging systematic fraud occurred in the province and called for a recount.

Gorran, Komal, the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU), and the Coalition for Democracy and Justice (CDJ) are reportedly meeting in Sulaimani to discuss their response to the allegations of fraud in the province.

Τις εκλογές κέρδισε το PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan), το δεύτερο μεγαλύτερο μέχρι πρότινος κόμμα του ιρακινού Κουρδιστάν (Ταλαμπανί) και σφοδρός αντίπαλος του Μπαρζανί. Παλαιότερα είχαν εμπλακεί σε 3ετή εμφύλιο πόλεμο, στο τέλος μονιάσαν με διαιτησία των ΗΠΑ.


Και τα υπόλοιπα μικρά κόμματα του Κουρδιστάν αμφισβητούν το αποτέλεσμα

Gorran, CDJ, Komal and KIU call for election rerun

Following preliminary results in Sulaimani that suggested a Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) victory, the Change (Gorran) Movement, the Coalition for Democracy and Justice (CDJ), Komal and the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU) held a meeting to discuss their response to alleged election fraud.

“We reject the total process of the election and its results, and we will not abide to the results,” the parties said in a joint statement, according to Payam TV, a Komal affiliated media outlet.

“We call for the repeating of the parliamentary election of Iraq in Kurdistan Region, including Kirkuk and Kurdistani territories outside the Region.”

“Victory for the determination of our righteous people,” the statement added.
