Ahrar welcomes the Iraqi Parliament's passing of the amended Election Law. At the same time, Ahrar has reservations about the proportion of seats allocated to Iraqis living outside Iraq and demands that the Presidency Council review the Law to preserve the rights of all Iraqis.
Ahrar Leader Ayad Jamal Aldin MP had looked forward to this great event and announced last Saturday that Ahrar will surprise a lot of people by entering the elections with high confidence and the support of Iraqis eager to change.
He is the one who can truly express the ambitions and aspirations of the Iraqi people - developing a plan to provide 1 million jobs, water and electricity services within two years, providing leadership, taking responsibility for the country, and fighting corruption in all its forms. Only Ahrar can stand against foreign interference in Iraq from any source.
We draw our strength from our people's awareness in selecting the best.
And Ahrar is the solution.

About Ayad Jamal Aldin:
Ayad Jamal Aldin is a young, Shia cleric, best known for his consistent campaigning for a new, secular Iraq. He first rose to prominence at the Nasiriyah conference in March 2003, shortly before the fall of Saddam, where he called for a state free of religion, the turban and other theological symbols. In 2005, he was elected as one of the 25 MPs on the Iraqi National List, but withdrew in 2009 after becoming disenchanted with Iyad Allawi's overtures to Iran. He wants complete independence from Iranian interference in Iraq. He now leads the Ahrar party for the 2010 election to the Council of Representatives, to clean up corruption and create a strong, secure and liberated Iraq for the future.
