Nizar Amedi, a candidate from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), was elected President of Iraq on Saturday after securing a decisive 227 votes in the second round of parliamentary voting.
The vote, held on Saturday, saw Amedi defeat his rival Muthanna Amin, who garnered just 15 votes in the runoff. The session marked the culmination of two rounds of voting in Iraq’s parliament, where lawmakers ultimately delivered a clear majority in favor of the PUK candidate.
Amedi, whose full name is Nizar Mohammed Saeed Mohammed, was born in 1968 in the Amedi district of Duhok province. He is married with four children and holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Mosul.
A long-standing member of the PUK’s political bureau, Amedi has held several senior roles over the past decades.
Amidi was sworn in before parliament as a new president, while Halbousi stressed that the largest bloc must present its candidate to form the government within 15 days.
Al-Badri is a compromise candidate within the coordination framework of the Prime Minister’s office.
