Baghdad: Tuesday's newspapers highlighted the Coordination Framework's declaration of being the largest parliamentary bloc, coinciding with the government's transition into a caretaker phase following the announcement of the final election results. According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Coordination Framework quickly signed a document asserting its status as the largest bloc, just hours after the election results were revealed. During a late-night meeting, the bloc decided to establish two committees: one to evaluate candidates for prime minister and another to engage in negotiations with other political forces in the country. The Independent High Electoral Commission shared the final results of the sixth parliamentary session, revealing the distribution of seats among major political entities. Leading the results was the Reconstruction and Development Coalition with 46 seats, followed closely by the State of Law Coalition with 29 seats. Al-Sadiqoun and Taqaddum both secured 27 seats each, while the Kurdistan Democratic Party obtained 26 seats. The Badr Organization, State Forces, and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan gained 21, 18, and 15 seats, respectively. The top eight blocs collectively secured 209 seats, while the remaining seats were allocated among other lists, including Azm Iraq with 15 seats, Eshraqet Kanun with 10, Siyada with 9, Iraqi Asas Alliance with 8, Huquq with 6, Tasmeem with 6, alongside several other lists with smaller seat numbers. The Commission also announced that appeals were open for three days on its official website before the results would be submitted to the Federal Supreme Court for ratification, following a review of the appeals. Al-zawar newspaper reported on political reactions to the election results, with State of Law Coalition leader Nouri Al-Maliki calling for "responsible cooperation among political forces" to expedite government formation. Al-Maliki emphasized the importance of respecting voters' decisions and developing a government program to tackle economic a nd living challenges, while restoring state authority. Al-Maliki urged political forces to set aside differences and agree on a prime minister selection mechanism based on competence and ability to manage state affairs, avoiding political tensions. Similarly, Ammar Al-Hakim, Head of the State Forces Alliance, expressed optimism about the electoral process, noting high voter turnout in regions liberated from ISIS. Al-Hakim emphasized the responsibility of winning forces to fulfill their promises and achieve progress in services, employment, and economic improvements.

The leaders underlined the need for political unity and a consensus-driven approach for selecting the new prime minister, prioritizing the nation's interests. Al-Zaman newspaper reported the government's official entry into a caretaker phase, following the Federal Supreme Court's decision to terminate the House of Representatives' work. This move was in line with the Independent High Electoral Commission's announcement of the final election results, amid calls for swift government formation to address the public's needs. The court's ruling indicated that the general vote marked the conclusion of Parliament's term, shifting the government's authority to limited powers focused on daily affairs. Parliamentary Rapporteur Gharib Askar noted that the court's decision would halt salaries and allowances for parliament members, with potential partial disbursement until the end of the month. Meanwhile, the Independent High Electoral Commission confirmed that the final results would largely align with preliminary figures, with minor adjustments in women's quota seats and internal seat distribution.
