Uncertain election results due to fraud

We believe the preliminary numbers reported drastically will be changed. That is if IHEC does its work right. What we heard now is that Gorran (Change List) have 26 000 votes in Duhok governate. But these numbers are unsure and can change. If these numbers are correct Gorran will fill 23 Parliament seats in Sulaymaniya, 7 seats for Erbil, and 1 seat for Duhok.

But these numbers are very unsure. We have filed our complaints of fraud to the IHEC and these will be reviewed in the next few days.

We have heard from a source in IHEC that Gorran votes have been found in the Kurdistani List bundles. When they count they sort votes in bundles of 50 or 100. Maybe they hoped that the IHEC in Baghdad only would count the bundles without opening them and check each vote...

Last night we gathered all complaints from our observers and also wrote those that we had not been able to write directly due to polling station officials refusing to give us the form. We have written statements from witnesses. We had to get new forms from Duhok to be able to write them down. The complaint forms are sent to IHEC Baghdad today.

After all violence that have already begun to spread we plead to our supporters to stay calm and await the IHEC verdict. But if the IHEC disregards all our complaints there will be protests for sure.

Change List got 61.7% of the votes in Sulaymaniya

We have just heard the results of yesterdays voting of the security personnel, hospitals, prisons etc. in Sulaymaniya. The Change List - Gorran - received 61.7% of the votes. We have not yet heard results from the other districts. These results fill our hearts with optimism before the coming election day tomorrow.

We in the Change List in Zakho are prepared for the elections tomorrow. There will be observers in all the polling stations. We hope that the election will procede in a calm, respectful and democratic way. We hope this day will be a day full of joy for all the people of Kurdistan and that we will show the world that we are able to hold an election that is democratic and free.
