Iraq electoral commission resigns en masse weeks before vote
 
BAGHDAD Tue Mar 25, 2014 4:34pm EDT
 
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The entire board of Iraq's electoral commission tendered its resignation on Tuesday in protest against political interference, casting doubt on a nationwide vote scheduled for next month.
 
The Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) said it had found itself caught between conflicting rulings from parliament and the judiciary regarding the exclusion of certain candidates from the election, due on April 30.
 
IHEC's sudden move further complicates the outlook for a vote already clouded by violence across the country where Sunni Islamist militants have regained momentum over the past year.
 
"The commission is subject to intense pressures resulting from the conflict between the legislative and judiciary powers," it said in a statement.
 
"In order to get out of this vicious circle, the members of the electoral commission have taken the decision to present their resignation collectively."
 
The statement said the conflict stemmed from divergent interpretations of the electoral law, which includes a clause allowing for candidates "of ill repute" to be barred from taking part.
 
Critics of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki have accused him of using the law to eliminate his political rivals to help clear the way for his third term.
 
 
The statement said the resignations, tendered in order to preserve the commission's "independence and professionalism", were pending approval from the head of the IHEC.

Iraq election chiefs quit as attacks kill 37
03/26/2014
 
 
Iraq electoral commission resigns en masse weeks before vote 1366843
BAGHDAD: The board of Iraq's electoral commission resigned en masse on Tuesday in protest at political and judicial "interference", throwing a general election due next month into disarray.The sudden decision comes with doubts already swirling over whether the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) could organise polling nationwide on April 30 with anti-government fighters in control of a city on Baghdad's doorstep.
 
Much is at stake in the election, as Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki bids for a third term with his security credentials thrown into question by a surge in violence to levels not seen since 2008, with 37 more people killed on Tuesday.

The nine-member IHEC board handed in its resignation in protest at what it said were conflicting rulings from parliament and the judiciary on the barring of would-be candidates for the election.

"The commission is today caught between two authorities the legislative and the judicial and the two have issued contradictory decisions," IHEC spokesman Safa al-Mussawi told AFP.

"We are stuck in the middle, so we have decided to resign." An aide to IHEC chairman Sarbat Rashid told AFP that he backed the decision. An IHEC board member, who did not want to be identified, said the same.

"They are very frustrated with this judicial panel for the elections excluding candidates," a diplomatic source said on condition of anonymity.

"They are very unhappy with judicial interference, with political interference." The resignations still have to be approved by parliament, the source added.

Several candidates have been barred in recent weeks on the grounds of alleged ties to now executed dictator Saddam Hussein's Baath party.

But a greater source of frustration for the IHEC board has been the exclusion of scores of hopefuls on the basis of what critics say is a vague provision in Iraq's electoral law that requires that parliamentary hopefuls be "of good reputation".

Those barred, who include former finance minister Rafa al-Essawi, a Maliki opponent, have no obvious avenue of appeal against the judicial panel's decision.

Parliament has meanwhile reportedly ruled that IHEC must not bar any candidates unless they have criminal convictions, a decision the IHEC spokesman said was at odds with that of the judicial panel.

'Message not to interfere':

It was not immediately clear what impact the resignation of the IHEC board would have on next month's election, which all major parties are agreed must take place on schedule.

One analyst said the resignations themselves were unlikely to disrupt the timetable. "The election will go ahead on time, whatever the situation, because there is no way parliament will approve these resignations," said Ihsan al-Shammari, a politics professor at Baghdad University.

"The resignations are a message to the two authorities not to interfere in their work," he said. "The conflict between the two authorities has put pressure on IHEC and forced them to present their resignations."

The looming vote has been a factor in the rising bloodshed in recent months, analysts and diplomats say. Maliki and other political leaders have been determined to be seen to take a hard line against militants.

But despite widely trumpeted operations against insurgents, bloodletting has continued, with more than 400 people killed so far this month, and upwards of 2,100 this year, according to an AFP tally.

On Tuesday alone, 37 people were killed nationwide, including eight who were killed in a gun attack on an army patrol and 15 others who were killed in car bombs in and around the capital.

The April 30 poll is also seen as opportunity to break years of political deadlock between Maliki and his opponents, which has resulted in little significant legislation being passed.

Pressure on Iraq election law after poll chiefs quit

BAGHDAD: Election officials pushed Wednesday for reform of Iraq's election law after polling chiefs suddenly handed in their resignations complaining of parliamentary and judicial interference, throwing next month's vote into disarray.

Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki warned that failure to resolve the crisis could delay the general election and send Iraq into a "tunnel we might not be able to get out of".

Doubts are already swirling over whether the polls -- currently set for April 30 -- could even be held nationwide as anti-government fighters still control a city on Baghdad's doorstep.

Much is at stake in the election, as Maliki bids for a third term with his security credentials badly damaged by a surge in violence to levels not seen since 2008, while the country looks to rebuild its conflict-battered economy and dramatically boost oil production.

Hours after the Independent High Electoral Commission's nine-member board collectively handed in their resignations on Tuesday, IHEC's chairman said amending a disputed article in Iraq's election law could provide a way out.

"If there is any problem, they (parliament) have to amend it through legislation," Sarbat Rashid told AFP, after holding talks with diplomats from the UN mission to Iraq, the US embassy, and the European Union mission, as well as parliament speaker Osama al-Nujaifi.

IHEC's board has in particular been frustrated with what critics say is a vague provision in Iraq's electoral law that requires parliamentary hopefuls to be "of good reputation".

Based on that article, a judicial panel has barred several prospective lawmakers, including Maliki opponents such as former finance minister Rafa al-Essawi, with no obvious avenue of appeal.

Parliament has meanwhile reportedly ruled that IHEC must not bar any candidates unless they have criminal convictions, a decision an IHEC spokesman said was at odds with that of the judicial panel.

A diplomatic source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that while the resignations had been submitted to parliament, "I do not expect that parliament will accept them, because the timing is critical for elections."

"Most likely, what IHEC would like to have done, they would like the article to be amended."

"IHEC's problem is that they are squeezed between the judicial panel and the parliament, and they are trying to extract themselves."

The diplomat said because the resignations were unlikely to be accepted by parliament, elections were likely to still go ahead next month.

- Maliki urges fast amendment -

But the mere prospect of a postponement has sparked concern, with Maliki warning in his weekly televised address that "if IHEC stays this way, that means ... the election will be delayed."

"We will enter a tunnel we might not be able to get out of," the premier said. "Troubles will come, one after another, against the state."

Maliki called for IHEC to withdraw the resignations, and urged parliament to pass an amendment to the law "as fast as possible".

The looming vote has been a factor in the rising bloodshed in recent months, analysts and diplomats say.

Maliki and other Shiite political leaders have been determined to be seen to take a hard line against militants, rather than reach out to the Sunni Arab minority in a bid to undercut long-term support for militancy.

But despite widely trumpeted operations against insurgents, bloodletting has continued, with more than 450 people killed so far this month, and upwards of 2,100 this year, according to an AFP tally.

And anti-government fighters have held control of the Sunni city of Fallujah, which lies just a short drive from Baghdad, for more than two months.
