Iraq: Vote fraud allegations trigger recount, fear of turmoil

Electoral commission cancelling results from more than 1,000 polling stations used in this month's parliamentary vote.

The demand was supported by many Sunni politicians and others who oppose the election results which saw a successful outcome for three main Shia-led blocs in Iraq's first election since the defeat of ISIL.

Iraq orders recount of all 11 million votes from May 12 election

Parliament orders a manual recount of all ballots and sacks electoral commission members who oversaw the process.

Iraq's parliament has ordered a full recount of the country's recent parliamentary election that resulted in a shock victory for Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr.

The country's outgoing 328-seat parliament voted in favour of a manual recount of all 11 million ballots from the May 12 poll in response to charges of electoral fraud.

MPs also sacked a nine-member independent electoral commission that oversaw the process and replaced the body with judges.

A political bloc led by populist Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, a long-time adversary of the United States who also opposes Iranian influence in Iraq, has won the country’s parliamentary election, the electoral commission said on Saturday.

according to this ( and I've heard he is a populist)

More recently, he's led campaigns and protests against corruption within the Shia-led government as well as against Iranian influence, and pledged to overcome sectarianism by leading a secular coalition that includes Iraq's communists.
Sadr in 2003 created the Mahdi Army......

In the last year, he's undergone something of a reinvention:
he has reached out to Sunni Gulf neighbors, most notably in 2017 visits to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, where he met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) powers typically shunned Iraq's Shia, but are now making headway in the country through investment and economic aid, seen partially as an attempt to counter arch-rival Iran's entrenched influence in the country.

Ahead of the election, Sadr pledged a commitment to abandon sectarianism by forming a coalition with secular Sunnis and Iraq's Communist Party, who have as a result seen their best election performance ever.

"Sadr's strong showing suggests that he maintains a relatively loyal following and that his nationalist, cross-sectarian platform was effective at mobilizing voters in challenging conditions," said Ryan Turner, a senior risk analyst at London-based PGI Group.

The British can take credit for the last 70 years in Iraq... Cheap oil for the ships of the British empire.
 
I'm a little offended that America doesn't receive it's fair share after 'Operation Iraqi Liberation'. :(

Yep...

The dual citizen neocons of the PNAC said we would invade Iraq, overthrow Saddam and use Iraqi oil to pay for it.. Never mind that they killed Iraqi oil for nearly a decade and that the oil business HATES a war zone.
