Al-Hakim urges Iraq to respect voters’ choice
By: Ismail Zabeeh
BAGHDAD, Iraq: Sayyed Abdul Aziz Al-Hakim, chief of
the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), who
also heads the United Iraqi Alliance (UIA) coalition said on Saturday
Iraq’s new government should reflect the results of last month’s
general election rather than an undemocratic consensus between
political parties.
His remarks came as political wrangling between Iraq’s parties gets
underway to form the country’s first full-term government since the
fall of Saddam in April 2003.
Talking to the publicly-funded Al-Sabah newspaper, Al-Hakim said a
consensus-based government “signifies the end of democracy, the end of
giving power to the majority and of the elections.”
The UIA coalition appears to have won the most votes in the December
15 election, according to initial indications.
Final results are expected to be announced in the coming days.
Rejecting consensus politics, Hakim called for a more representative
government based on the results of the election.
