Salih pointed out that the recent elections did not achieve what the citizen hoped for and faced many problems and challenges... the delay in meeting the constitutional deadlines and forming a new government, and the issue of the resignation of the Sadrist bloc that won the elections, and its serious political and social effects.
He added, "Having new, early elections in accordance with a national understanding represents a way out of the current crisis in the country instead of political debate or confrontation and conflict and that it guarantees political and social stability and responds to the aspirations of the Iraqis, and there is no inevitable after today to embark on real reforms, and absolutely no position or issue more important than the country's interest, and the most important thing is to fundamentally reform the situation to stop the vortex of crises."
