Iraqi parliament completes leadership e******n, opening nomination for presidency
This is from Chinese news
The Iraqi parliament on Tuesday elected Farhad Atrushi of the Kurdistan D********c Party as second deputy speaker, completing the e******n of its leadership and paving the way for the e******n of the country’s president.
The vote followed the e******n of Haibet al-Halbousi as parliament speaker and Adnan Fihan as first deputy speaker on Monday. The completion of the parliamentary leadership is a crucial step that triggers the next phase of the constitutional timeline for appointing the nation’s leadership.
“The Council of Representatives has today completed the first constitutional step within the prescribed timeframe, reflecting a strong sense of national responsibility demonstrated by the leaders of the political blocs and the honorable members of parliament in carrying out the duties entrusted to them,” Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid said in a statement.
Al-Halbousi also announced the opening of nominations for the presidency, according to a statement released by the Iraqi parliament on Tuesday.
Under Iraq’s Constitution, parliament must elect a president within 30 days. The president will then have 15 days to task the nominee of the largest parliamentary bloc with forming a cabinet, which must be presented for a vote of confidence within 30 days.
Under Iraq’s ethno-sectarian power-sharing system established after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, the presidency is reserved for a Kurd, the parliamentary speaker’s post for a Sunni Muslim, and the prime minister’s office for a Shiite Muslim. (LINK)

We also extend our congratulations to Adnan Faihan, First Deputy Speaker, and Farhad al-Atroushi, Second Deputy Speaker, wishing you and all members of Parliament success in fulfilling your duties in service to the Iraqi people in all their diversity.”
He added, “The Council of Representatives has fulfilled its first constitutional obligation today on schedule, which confirms the strong sense of national responsibility felt by the leaders of the political blocs and the representatives. In this context, we remind you of the weighty task awaiting your esteemed Council in enacting laws that affect the lives of the people, who demonstrated their loyalty to the nation by turning out in large numbers to vote for their representatives in Parliament.”
He emphasized that “the oversight role of your esteemed council will be no less important than its legislative role, as the people expect you to exercise your oversight role optimally. A parliamentary system and a genuine d********c experience are impossible without a parliament capable of monitoring the performance of the executive branch, identifying shortcomings, and holding violators accountable.”
He concluded by saying, “We wish your esteemed council every success in fulfilling the remaining constitutional obligations on schedule.” (LINK)
Trump’s envoy congratulates Iraqis on the New Year: It will be a year of change.
Video in Arabic on the website
Mark Savaya, the US President Donald Trump’s envoy to Iraq, congratulated the Iraqi people on the New Year, wishing them a year of goodness, happiness, and change, through a video clip from inside the home of his friend in the United States, Ammar Matti, who posted the video.
Regarding the year of change, Savaya welcomed the decision to disarm the factions in Iraq a few days ago, considering the step an encouraging development that responds to the calls of the religious authority. However, he stressed at the same time that statements alone are not enough, calling for a comprehensive and irreversible disarmament, implemented within a binding national framework that enshrines the state’s exclusive right to bear arms, warning that Iraq today stands at a crucial crossroads between consolidating sovereignty and stability, or remaining in a spiral of disintegration and uncontrolled weapons.
Regarding Trump’s appointment of Savaya as envoy to Iraq, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said during a comprehensive interview with journalist Ghassan Ben Jeddou, editor-in-chief of Al-Mayadeen TV, which is close to the Lebanese Hezbollah: “We view the issue of appointing a special envoy to the US president in Iraq as a kind of interest in the bilateral relations between the United States and Iraq.
When there is an additional window for existing official institutions, the embassy and others, it will certainly be beneficial, for the speed of delivering messages and more flexibility and coordination in positions.” (LINK)
