5/13/2024
The Iraqi Parliament has set next Saturday as the date for electing its new president.
The media of the Iraqi House of Representatives said in a brief statement received by Shafaq News Agency, that the Presidency of the Council decided to hold a session on Saturday, May 18, 2024, to elect the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
An informed political source told Shafaq News Agency that the “Taqaddum” Party and the “Sadara” Bloc decided to present Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani as a candidate for the presidency of Parliament.
Al-Mashhadani, (75 years old), headed the Iraqi Council of Representatives from 2006 to 2009.
According to the source, the nomination was supported by Muhammad al-Halbousi, with the withdrawal of Talal al-Zubaie, leaving al-Mashhadani to remain a solo candidate, facing Salem al-Issawi.
The “Sadara” parliamentary bloc announced, after midnight on Saturday, joining the “Taqaddum” coalition led by Muhammad al-Halbousi, in a decision that would advance a candidate for the presidency of the Iraqi parliament. LINK
