The government of Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani was born after a difficult political struggle, but its president’s awareness of the magnitude of the challenges and popular aspirations prompted him to develop a clear and practical program, at the head of which was combating financial and administrative corruption and providing services to citizens from the far north to the far south. The government’s curriculum included two parts, the executive and the legislative, and the nascent government established a procedure Governorate council elections are a top priority, out of awareness that the process of improving services requires these councils, whose absence represents a constitutional defect.

Holding the governorate council elections is the culmination of a year of great giving to the government, which was preoccupied with improving the living conditions of citizens, especially the weak and fragile groups, as it expanded the scope of social protection, raised pension salaries, and increased the salaries of junior employees. Al-Sudani presented a distinguished image of the president who is keen to improve the government’s performance, as he works 16- 17 hours a day, and he always visits ministries, government departments, and governorates, and the ministers followed his approach until the holiday disappeared from their work dictionaries.

Many people bet on the disintegration and failure of the government, but their expectations were disappointed. Then they bet on its inability to adhere to its promises, most notably holding provincial council elections. The election date came, and the government prepared all its requirements, its propaganda campaigns took place safely, and it provided great support to the Independent High Electoral Commission. At the forefront of the support was amending its law to extend... The term of its Board of Commissioners to enable it to complete the elections until their last episode.

The greatest danger was represented by the rumors and rumors spread by some who did not want anything good for Iraq about a negative role for the Sadrist movement that would lead to thwarting the holding of the elections, which is what the Prime Minister took into account and cooperated with the political forces and parliamentary blocs in declaring a unified position determined to hold the elections on time. Then it was. Mr. Muqtada Al-Sadr's wise step in calling on his supporters not to carry out any negative or hostile action to obstruct the elections. It is a step that expresses the depth of Al-Sadr's love for Iraq and his concern for its security and stability, far from the calculations of immediate interests. It is a step that deserved appreciation and respect from all observers, politicians and citizens.

These elections are very important to prove the stability of Iraq, the cohesion of its political system, and the activation of its constitutional institutions. They are evidence of the government’s ability to implement its obligations and pledges. They will be a qualitative leap in political performance on the path of reform, combating corruption, and providing services fairly to all citizens, which was reinforced by the judiciary’s decision to hold provincial council elections. In Kirkuk and treating it like any other Iraqi governorate to establish stability and achieve justice among citizens by granting them the right to run and elect in this governorate.
All philanthropists and lovers of Iraq wish the Iraqi government success in completing the electoral process in the best way and that the upcoming councils live up to the level of national responsibility and ambition.
