Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed on Saturday that the parliamentary elections on November 11 will take place as scheduled. He emphasized that the vote represents a normal transfer of power. It is not a response to foreign pressure or emergency conditions.
During a visit to Saladin province, the prime minister reaffirmed the government’s firm commitment to the election timeline. He promised to create a secure and stable environment for voters and candidates. Al-Sudani, who is also a lawmaker representing Baghdad, is running in the elections himself. He is contesting a seat in the capital under his own Al-Furatain Movement.
Furthermore, he leads the newly formed Reconstruction and Development Coalition. This coalition unites several political forces and aims to present a broad electoral alliance. Observers note that Al-Sudani’s group is distancing itself from his previous affiliation with the Shiite Coordination Framework. Instead, the coalition promotes a centrist and development-focused agenda ahead of the parliamentary elections on November 11.
The prime minister’s announcement comes amid rising political tensions in Iraq. Despite this, he insists the election date will not change. According to Al-Sudani, holding the parliamentary elections on November 11 is essential for Iraq’s political stability and progress.
The Reconstruction and Development Coalition seeks to address Iraq’s challenges through a platform focused on reconstruction and growth. Al-Sudani believes this approach will appeal to voters who want effective governance and economic development. He stresses that his coalition offers a fresh alternative to existing political groups.
Security forces are preparing to provide protection at polling stations nationwide. The government aims to guarantee voter safety and prevent disruptions. Al-Sudani called on all political actors to respect the democratic process and avoid violence.
As the election date approaches, Iraqis will watch closely to see if these promises hold. The prime minister remains confident the parliamentary elections on November 11 will proceed smoothly. He encourages citizens to participate and make their voices heard.
