In the name of God the Merciful
The Iraqi people who are waiting impatiently to go to the polls to choose their representatives, who expressed his pleasure at the success of the House of Representatives to reach an electoral law ..
Surprised by the announcement of VETO for the law, which poses a serious threat to the political process and democracy, was not based on strong constitutional did not take into account the national interest.
I am from a position of confirming the decision of the people's representatives of the Council of Representatives, I invite the Independent Higher Commission for Elections to continue their technical and complete the preparations for holding the elections on time without delay or affected by this veto.
I also call upon the political forces and coalitions and electoral lists to continue its work and the completion of all requirements for participation in the elections.
I also call on the people's representatives in the House of Representatives to convene an urgent meeting to confirm their decision to hold elections on schedule.
I call upon the Iraqi people to stand by the House to defend the achievements and sacrifices and his rights and insist on holding elections to choose representatives, and miss the chance for enemies and the enemies of Iraq who are trying to exploit such opportunities to disrupt the march of democracy.
