Samir Naim

Samir Naim is a representative of the Mandaean community in Iraq, who recently voiced concerns regarding the exploitation of the electoral quota system designed for minorities. He highlighted the risks posed by dominant political parties that manipulate the election process by supporting candidates from minority groups, thereby undermining their genuine representation. Naim emphasized that this manipulation leads to candidates who are more loyal to their political backers than to the communities they are supposed to represent, thereby jeopardizing the political rights and interests of the Mandaean and other minority groups in Iraq.
