Observers in Mosul reported that the Engineers Syndicate elections are witnessing fierce competition and a large influx in the number of candidates and participating lists, reflecting their influence on the general political elections.
The use of the term “independents” by one list appears to indicate that there are party lists in the competition.
It is also noted that there is an increase in the promotion of these elections on social media, which shows the extent to which unions are affected by the climate of local elections and parliaments, which is reflected in the nature of union competition.
