Sadrist MP fears election rigging
Aswat al-Iraq: Spokesperson for the Sadr parliamentary bloc on Saturday said that he has fears of rigging the results of the elections in that some voters' registration folders went missing in some provinces, attributing the responsibility for this issue to political sides that he did not name."There are some indications of election rigging by withdrawing some voters' registration folders from some polling stations in a number of provinces, to prepare for rigging the elections," Ahmed al-Masaodi told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. For his part, the Iraqi Minister of Interior, Jawad al-Bolani, announced that the election security plan that was implemented on Saturday has succeeded, describing Iraqi people's participation in the elections as good. But the coordinator of al-Hadbaa national list, Atheel al-Nujaifi, said that "forces of the Iraqi army 3rd division arrested today one of the list's monitors, without mentioning the reasons."
