A leading Iraqi Shiite cleric, who called for boycotting parliamentary elections, said that the intricate hitches in national politics cannot be resolved by faked alliances. Iraq’s May parliamentary election was marred by low turnout and allegations of fraud, stalling talks on forming a new government. Parliament mandated a nationwide manual recount of votes and some politicians called for it to be repeated. Iraqi political leaders of various political coalitions, or "lists" as theyre called, have been negotiating to form larger alliances to gain legislative power. “The crisis created by the occupation and its political process and the fake and burning elections, can’t be solved by artificial alliances and shifting media meetings,” Khalisiya school imam Sheikh Jawad al-Khalisi, said in a statement. “The crisis is in fact the quota itself, which is the last unresolved issue among political parties, leaving them unable to form an Iraqi government to undertake fulfilling national demands,” said the Kadhimiya-based cleric. Khalisi gave a “final” piece of advice for every Iraqi urging them to seek a solution within Iraq, and away from foreign embassies, especially American and British missions. Iraq’s Fatah Alliance led by Hadi al-Amiri has announced the joining of the Irada Movement led by Hanan al-Fatlawi and a coalition of Competencies bloc led by Haitham al-Jubouri.  Speaking under the condition of anonymity, a local source told Asharq Al-Awsat that many differences exist among the civil bloc’s internal ranks, which include the Iraqi Communist Party, especially on the topic of striking alliances with Islamist movements—in reference to civil movements lobbying with the Sadrists.  Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s invitation for political groups meeting after the Eid al-Fitr Muslim holiday to establish a new parliament and government, was met with timid and faint responses as only two Sunni blocs announced agreeing to holding dialogue. The coalition of Iraqi forces led by Jamal al-Karbouli and the National Dialogue Front led by Saleh al-Mutlaq were the two blocs who responded to Abadi’s invite. No Shiite or Kurdish parties commented on the prime minister’s proposal.
