Iraqi Shiite leader Sadr to sit out October election
Muqtada al-Sadr also said he would withdraw his support for the current government and its replacement.
The reality is that there is no strong legitimate government that is leading Iraq towards stability, prosperity, and democracy. Corrupt political parties have a strong influence on the government to achieve personal interests and manipulate the elections.
All the political parties have stated their concerns that the elections are rigged. Muqtada’s Al-Sadr’s boycott is a clear indication that the government is failing, and the people have lost confidence with their “elected officials”.
I don't believe that statement for a second. Kazemi is the ONLY decent and ETHICAL POLITICIAN to EVER oversee Iraq's parliamentary process and work diligently to stop corruption.
You don't know what you're talking about
