    Sayyid Al-Hakeem: Existing electoral law safeguards equilibrium, underscores collective success

    During a gathering at the Iraqi House Salon on 15/3/2024, Sayyid Ammar Al-Hakeem, Head of Al-Hikma National Movement, engaged with a select group of national elites and experts and expounded on Iraq's status, its historical trajectory, and the influential figures shaping its landscape.
    His Eminence stated that the coordination framework serves as a unifying platform for various political factions within a single political arena, along with specific audiences and voters. H.E. emphasized its role in providing what alliances and coalitions couldn't, acting as a pivotal force in forming the state management coalition. Moreover, H.E. pointed out tangible progress in implementing political agreements.
    Furthermore, H.E. stressed Iraq's demonstrated ability to manage balances, underscoring the importance of preserving them and considering historical contexts when assessing equilibrium and the repercussions of external imbalances.
    H.E. clarified that discussions regarding amending the election law hadn't occurred within the framework meetings, with diverse opinions emerging on the matter. H.E. emphasized that governmental success is a collective endeavor and that the current law has proven effective in maintaining balance.
    Regarding the political powers' vision for the state's structure, H.E. underscored that while the constitution outlines its features and foundations, disagreement doesn't necessitate its nullification. H.E. suggested that those seeking their vision's realization should amend the constitution and subject it to a referendum.
    H.E. advocated for embracing the parliamentary system's nature and requirements, asserting that electing a party within this system doesn't guarantee its rise to power. H.E. also called for preserving social balance and component weights.
    H.E. affirmed that the coordination framework and the political process remain open to all, signaling its receptivity through initiatives like the recent local elections to accommodate dissenting or absent parties.
    H.E. emphasized the importance of upholding political work ethics, noting that differences on issues like the number of governors should be approached methodically. H.E. also urged the consolidation of parties to ensure a healthier political landscape.
    Additionally, H.E. stressed the significance of respecting privacy and freedom of expression, provided they don't infringe on others' rights, and underscored the importance of substantiating claims with evidence.
