The elections are an important step towards a consolidation of the democratic system in which the Provincial Councils play an essential role, and it is unfortunate that the elections did not take place on 20 April in a number of provinces, including Anbar and Ninewa.
Valimised on oluline samm demokraatliku süsteemi konsolideerimise suunas, milles provintsinõukogud mängivad tähtsat rolli, ning on kahetsusväärne, et 20. aprillil ei toimunud valimisi mitmes provintsis, sealhulgas Anbaris ja Ninewas.
