Sheikh
Qais Khazali, Secretary-General of Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq movement, called for the
amendment of the electoral act during the upcoming stage, while confirming that
the prime minister position belongs to the largest component and the bloc with
the largest number of members
Sheik
Al-Khazali stated in a televised interview “
The electoral act that follows districts and regions does not meet the
will of the voters indicating that the law was designed so one party would
benefit at the expense of another, while he considered that the tripartite
alliance benefited most from the change in election act
Additionally,
his eminence said that according to the German Examining Company’s report
revealed that one of the UN-provided electoral bodies was responsible for
fraud, and this caused him to have a heated discussion with Plasschaert about
fraud
Sheikh
Khazali also called for changing the Electoral Commission after it proved its
failure in managing the electoral process, indicating that all evidence of
election fraud was submitted to the judiciary and the Federal Court formed a
committee of experts, pointing out that the framework’s approval on the Federal
Court’s decision regarding election fraud served to maintain the state’s
integrity
Sheikh
Khazali explained that the government cannot be formed without mutual
understanding between the different parties, this is especially true since
there have been hints of political changes after the Saturday and Wednesday
sessions
Furthermore,
His Eminence noted that the external willpower that brought the tripartite alliance
together might as well be the reasons of its disintegration especially that the
UAE is now convinced of not siding with a Sunni party over a Shiite party,
revealing that there will be changes in the Arab region, especially in the
Emirates
Additionally,
talking about the Sadrist bloc “Despite the Shiite framework sending a written
answer agreeing to the 12 demands Al-Sadr submitted before adding two new
points after negotiations with al-Amiri regarding the prime minister, the
Sadrist bloc did not send messages of reassurance to us and demanded the dissolution
of Al-Ḥashd ash-Shaʿbī
He proceeded saying we were stunned to say the least when the tripartite
alliance was announced by the Sadrist bloc despite the negotiations that went
between our blocs , revealing that Al-Sader demanded the prime ministership and
a twelve-ministry cabinet, sheik also stated that The Framework will not accept
a Sadrist government, but rather a prime minister whom Al-Sader chooses
Lastly his eminence emphasised that he does not question Sayed Muqtada
Al-Sader’s loyalty to his country but he is just wondering if Sayed Muqtada
Al-Sader is aware that the oil of Kurdistan is being sold to Israel
