Baku – APA. The U.S. ambassador to Iraq says the nation’s upcoming March 7 elections need to be widely accepted as fair so that protests by the losers don’t bog down the new government, APA reports quoting Associated Press.
Ambassador Christopher Hill believes that a fierce controversy over a ballot purge of candidates who are suspected Saddam Hussein loyalists will likely be resolved before the vote.
An estimated 450 candidates have been barred from the ballot for their suspected links to Saddam’s Baathist regime.
Hill told The Associated Press on Monday he believes Iraq’s government will open its vetting process to show voters why certain candidates were disqualified from running.
