  • Al-Asadi: The Iraqi Elections Have Taken Place Smoothly Thanks to Security
    Head of the Iraqi National Sindh bloc, Ahmed Al-Asadi

The head of the Sindh bloc Ahmed Al-Asadi cited "smooth running" of the Iraqi legislative elections, attributing it to security measures.

In an exclusive interview for Al Mayadeen, Al-Asadi indicated that “corruption, political blockages, and unemployment mirrored the low turnout”, adding the political failure over the past years has marked a decline in the participation rate.

The top Iraqi figure went on to say that voter turnout will not exceed 40%.

“The greater the probability that the most organized clans, tribes, and parties will receive the majority of the votes cast,” he added.
