Iraqi leaders speak

In the meantime, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi said, "We have completed our duty to conduct fair and transparent elections.”

Iraqi President Barham Salih stressed that the completion of the elections is a huge achievement toward reform, with a huge task awaiting the officials to form powers expressive of the people’s will.

The Iraqi Parliament's Speaker congratulated the Iraqis over their participation and choice, thanking everyone who took part in this achievement.

On his part, the leader of the Sadrist Movement in Iraq, Moqtada al-Sadr, said that the early Iraqi elections were successful, both from a security and professional point of view.

In an exclusive interview for Al Mayadeen, the head of the al-Sanad bloc Ahmed Al-Asadi had hailed the "smooth running" of the Iraqi legislative elections, attributing it to security measures.

He also indicated that “corruption, political blockages, and unemployment mirrored the low turnout”, adding that the political failure over the past years has marked a decline in the participation rate.
