From the widespread protests to the election results and the sit-in by supporters of the Shia coordination framework in Tahrir Square, and then the recounting of votes and the inability of the Sadr movement to form a majority faction and their collective exit and resignation from the parliament and Then, the attack of pro-Sadr rioters on the parliament and the announcement of Seyyed Moqtadi al-Sadr that he will no longer engage in political activities, and the recent conflicts and unrest in Basra province, are all consequences of last year’s elections.
