Iraqis voted in a parliamentary election yesterday, an event marked by tight security measures and a notable boycott by a major political bloc.
This election comes in the wake of significant regional shifts over the past two years. Key developments include the weakening of Iran’s influence following the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as the fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad last December.
Lahib Higel, Senior Iraq Analyst at the International Crisis Group, spoke to Bloomberg’s Jennifer Zabasajja on Horizons Middle East and Africa to provide insights into the election and its broader implications.
