Allawi expects unfair elections

will not have a role as before , describing the electronic voter's card as mere "bubble".

The elections are scheduled to take place in 30 of next April which is the first to use the electronic voter's card to give more transparency to the process , according to the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) .

The card in which voters can’t cast their ballots without it contains information about the name of the voter and the electoral center that the citizen will vote in.

Allawi told “Shafaq News “that " voter's card are bought and sold ."

IHEC as well as supervising and political parties have spotted in recent weeks cases of sale of electronic voter card, especially in Kirkukprovince.

But it is unclear precisely how that parties are able to purchase those cards to exploit and vote in its favor .

Allawi added that " the next election will not be fair and will not reflect the view of the Iraqi people because the UN has no role in IHEC as before ."

“Appointments in IHEC are being carried out by one party ," in reference to what seems to be the coalition of his rival Prime Minister , Nuri al-Maliki.

The elections are heading towards extremely difficult conditions in Iraq, where sectarian and political divisions are taking place as well as the ongoing military operations in Anbar since the beginning of this year.

Fighting between Iraqi forces and government opponents , including al- Qaeda has forced tens of thousands of residents of Fallujah and Ramadi cities in Anbar to saferprovinces.

Allawi said that the displaced will not be able to vote in the elections .
