What can the insurgents do that’s worse? There are already car bombs every day.

The preparation and the process of guaranteeing Iraqis a vote since January has been difficult, due to security issues. But despite these huge challenges, we achieved our objective and managed to hold the follow up...

The final results won’t be ready and ratified until a few days into next January after completing the investigation into all complaints.

We are going to recheck things to be absolutely sure. We should have results in a few days, maybe by Friday.

The total number of eligible voters is 15.5 million, … and we expect the turn-out to reach 11 or 12 million.

We don’t know when this will finish,

We are still awaiting the results of the audit from the provinces which we have selected randomly.

There is no result, and the figures you see reported in the media are wrong.

If we have a serious violation at four polling stations, that is not many voters.

We intend to reach the highest international standards, so that all the referendum results will be fair and transparent.

The number of whose who took part in the ballot should be between 10 and 11 million voters, according to our first estimates.

It is an accomplishment for all Iraqis. It’s a civilized step that puts Iraq on the path to democracy, to rebuilding our new Iraq.

We will cancel the results of any polling center, inside or outside of Iraq, if it has been proven that there was fraud in there. To this day, I don’t think there is a reason...

We didn’t invent these figures. It took us a long time to get them.

Whatever the results of the referendum are … it is a civilized step that aims to put Iraq on the path of true democracy.

Some political entities will say, ‘We have this many votes,’ but this is not correct. They cannot guess.

It is an achievement of all Iraqis.

The final results will not be announced before the beginning of next year because we have more than 1,000 complaints.

If there is any result over 90 percent it is better to investigate those again. We are reviewing all the numbers, yes and no.

It’s true that more than 1,000 complaints have been raised so far, many of them in the capital. But these won’t be enough to change the overall results.

There is an enthusiasm to vote. Even in the last month we have registered one million more people,

Of course the election is legitimate.
