UN official speaks with Iraqi leaders to break post-election deadlock
Jeanine Antoinette Plasschaert, special representative of the secretary-general for Iraq, held talks with the head of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Qais al-Khazali, to settle the election results crisis.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Jeanine Antoinette Plasschaert, special representative of the secretary-general for Iraq, has attended last night, Nov 18, the meeting of Coordination Framework that includes most of the political parties lost in the elections.
She has also met over the last few days with leaders of those political blocs that lost in the Iraqi elections. The meetings raised many questions, particularly since these parties blame the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) for what they call “rigged election results."
