Good progress of elections in Iraq highlighted

Baghdad, Sep 20 (Prensa Latina) Viola von Cramon, head of the European Union (EU) Observation Mission, on Monday highlighted the good progress of what she described as historic elections in Iraq.

Von Cramon praised the preparations and efforts to ensure integrity, transparency and security during the October 10 elections.

According to the German MEP, the mission analyzed the electoral process in all its details, included the campaign of candidates and political parties, the media, social media, vote counting and election results’ announcement.

Previously, she expressed her hope that the civic exercise would be free of violence and intimidation, and confirmed that some 80 EU observers will monitor the process.

Elections in Iraq were scheduled for 2022, but in the face of demands for mass demonstrations that occurred in 2019, the Government decided to bring them forward.
