UN envoy to Iraq calls for investigation into fraud allegations
Iraq's UN envoy has called for an investigation into allegations of fraud and voter rigging in last month's elections that may have undermined the country's democratic system. The latest development comes after a warehouse storing ballot papers caught fire, an act described as a "plot" against democracy by Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi. Jan Kubis on Tuesday urged the country's electoral bodies to "investigate and adjudicate all complaints of electoral fraud and violations, in a fully transparent way that promotes the integrity of the electoral process and the legitimacy of its results, in line with the laws and Constitution of Iraq". The UN envoy called on Iraqi lawmakers to “work together in support of the steps to address the complaints concerning the electoral process”.
