Will the Iraq elections bring change?

from Beyond the Headlines · host The National UAE

Iraqis went to the polls on October 10, 2021. Prime Minister Mustafa Al Kadhimi had promised an early election when he came to power in last May amid mass protests, which began in 2019. People had taken to the streets against government corruption, failing public services and unemployment. But as the ballots were counted it appeared that only about a third of the Iraqi population turned up to vote. Will the Iraqi elections bring a change? asks host Leila Gharagozlou on this week's Beyond the Headlines. Hosted by Leila Gharagozlou Produced by Ayesha Khan, Bob Tollast, Mina Al Droubi and Arthur Eddyson
