On results of the Iraqi provincial elections, Vice President of Bethnahrin Patriotic Union in Iraq Joseph Sliwa called on all parties to self-review and show courage

ERBIL — After the results of provincial councils’ elections in Iraq were announced, Vice President of the Bethnahrin Patriotic Union (Huyodo Bethnahrin Athroyo, HBA) Joseph Sliwa stated that the elections results that the Athra Alliance has reached can be attributed to subjective and objective reasons.

“The objective reasons lie in the fact that the political parties in power are dealing with democracy with arrogance and fraud. The political parties demanded to limit the vote to quota seats, only for Chaldeans-Syriac-Assyrians and Christians,” he declared.

Regarding the subjective reasons, Sliwa stressed the necessity to be honest with each other and discuss the subjective mistakes, which is one of the most important mistakes of the Alliance.

“Some political parties do not have the actual decision, and they are not directly related to the requirements of the Chaldean-Syriac-Assyrian people,” he continued.

Sliwa called on all the parties to self-review and show courage to find out the reasons for what the Alliance has reached in the elections to move to the next stage.
