Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Iraqiya Slate considered forming the new board of Commissioners of the Independent High Electoral Commission as “A big victory to the political process,” announcing “Its support to the nomination of the ninth Commissioner from the Turkmen constituent to be a woman candidate.”

The spokesperson of the IS, Haider al-Mula, stated in a press conference on Monday “The parliament voted on eight Commissioners of the IHEC, but the ninth Commissioner is still not nominated due to the disputes among the political blocs,” noting that “The IS supports nominating the ninth Commissioner from the Turkmen constituent because it is the biggest among the minor constituents.”
