After the Electoral Process in Iraq: A Call to Action for the New Council of Representatives Despite the electoral process being marred by vote-buying, exploitation of power, and misuse of public funds, the results confirmed an undeniable truth: the popular will remains supreme, and the demographic majority continues to determine the direction of the state, regardless of attempts by some parties to manipulate the political scene. Today, the new Council of Representatives faces a historic responsibility: Forming a national majority government that assumes full responsibility before the people, accompanied by a genuine national opposition to ensure oversight and balance of power. The sectarian quota system has clearly failed over the past two decades. Initiating comprehensive constitutional amendments to end political chaos by transitioning to a presidential system where the people directly elect their president, with powers reorganized to prevent repeated political deadlocks. Given that ministries have become mere partisan offices, Iraq urgently needs a government of qualified professionals to address the service sector collapse—water, electricity, health, environment, education, roads, and agriculture—all requiring clear vision and binding timelines. The Council must confront major issues decisively: Corruption that has devoured state resources Service crises Unemployment Weak industry and agriculture Declining health and education Security stabilization Iraq today stands at a crossroads. The duty is not merely to manage a new phase but to launch a national rescue project that restores the state’s prestige and guarantees the dignity of its citizens.
