Baghdad / Obelisk: Legal expert Ali Al-Tamimi identified, on Wednesday, October 13, 2021, the party responsible according to the law for approving the re-counting and manual sorting of all stations in the country.
Al-Tamimi said in a statement to (Al-Masala), that there are many appeals before the judicial body formed under the law of the Commission, which reached more than 8 thousand boxes, and there are more than 3 thousand complaints submitted to the Board of Commissioners, and the judicial body formed under the Law of the Tripartite Commission cannot decide to re-count. Sorting is complete throughout Iraq, not even the Board of Commissioners, as there is no legal text that allows this. However, these bodies are restricted to deciding on the complaints and appeals submitted to them.
He continued, since the House of Representatives does not exist and is dissolved, the one who can take this decision to recount and sort manually throughout Iraq is the Council of Ministers after knowing the results of the manual counting of the purified stations, which the Electoral Commission has initiated, which is the Council of Ministers after making this decision, the matter is referred to the court Federal to have its final say based on Article 93, Paragraph III of the Iraqi Constitution, and as it happened in 2018.
He pointed out that the defining boundary in the matter is the results of the contested funds and also that there were forms in the stations in which the verification devices were disabled, and the problem is that the government is now a caretaker and may not be able to move much, but the Federal Supreme Court remains the decisive factor in the matter.
Al-Tamimi stressed that “the most numerous bloc will remain the one with the highest votes, and the situation will not change much, and it is concerned with the nomination of the next prime minister away from all alliances in accordance with Articles 76 of the Constitution, the decision of the Federal Supreme Court 25 in 2010 and Article 45 of the Legislative Elections Law.”
