The losing sides in the Iraqi elections are waiting for the Federal Supreme Court to rule on the lawsuit to invalidate the results filed by Fatah Alliance leader Hadi al-Amiri, who described the annulment of the election results as the only way out of the current political crisis.

Since the Oct. 10 election, the forces that lost seats in Parliament, including the Fatah Alliance, Wisdom Movement and the Victory Alliance, have refused to accept the results and formed the so-called Coordination Framework alongside the State of Law Coalition.

The court set Dec. 13 as the date to consider the lawsuit lodged by Amiri, who told reporters following the hearing of the appeal, “We will abide by the decision of the Federal Supreme Court even if it does not do us justice. The results of the current elections have plunged the country into a predicament, and we reject any international effort aimed at imposing its will and interfering in our internal affairs.”

He added, “We do not want to hit a political deadlock, and we believe that canceling the election [results] is one of the ways out of the crisis. We reject the election results in this way.”
