Muqtada al-Sadr set to claim victory in Iraqi elections
Iraqis made their way to the ballot boxes to cast their votes for the council of representatives, as results show significant surprises.
Iraq's parliamentary elections on Sunday were held in a quiet environment compared to previous elections.
Security measures meant to ensure a smooth and safe process were largely successful, as only 75 complaints during public voting and 16 complaints from the special voting of security forces were submitted to the independent electoral commission.
The voter turnout was lower than expected, at 41 percent among the public voting and 69 percent for the special voting.
The 2021 elections were also significantly different from the previous elections because there were no significant violations.
