Iraqis are voting on Tuesday for a new Parliament, in a context of political instability and corruption. The elections are being monitored by Iran and the USA.

On Tuesday, Iraqis participate in legislative elections, a vote that could change the political landscape of the country, being closely monitored by Iran and the United States. Iraq, with a population of 46 million, faces severe infrastructure and corruption issues, and many citizens do not believe that these elections will bring significant changes. Over 21.4 million voters are expected to vote for 329 seats, with a quota system that ensures a quarter of the seats for women and new ones for minorities.

The current Prime Minister, Mohamed Shia al-Sudani, hopes to secure a second term, while the influence of leader Moqtada Sadr has diminished, urging his supporters to boycott the elections. Sunni parties are running separately, and the rivalry in Kurdistan remains intense. In this context, both Iran and the US want to maintain their influence in Iraq, despite internal and external challenges.
