Al-Ahad TV, the official owned media of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, posted at 22:20 UTC on 27 July 2026 that during the hosting of the electricity minister, First Deputy Speaker of the Council of Representatives Adnan Fihhan asked: "Where did the maintenance money go? And why is the distribution network still dilapidated?" (أين ذهبت أموال الصيانة؟ ولماذا لا تزال شبكة التوزيع متهالكة؟). The quoted position belongs to Fihhan; Al-Ahad TV is the amplifying platform. No other tracked actor carried this item in the collected window, and no supplied external media reporting on the session was provided.
Electricity failure is Iraq's most reliable driver of popular anger, and a faction platform positioning itself as the interrogator rather than a partner in the government's record builds political capital ahead of any budget or ministerial reshuffle fight.
