[size=45]Legal expert Ali Al-Tamimi confirmed, on Thursday, that the government of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, which is the caretaker government, can hold the new parliamentary elections, and there is no legal or constitutional impediment to that.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Tamimi explained that “the dissolution of the House of Representatives is through two methods, the first method is to submit a request by a third of the members of Parliament and be voted on by an absolute majority, and the second method is that there is a request from the Prime Minister and with the approval of the President of the Republic, and Parliament also votes on it.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Tamimi pointed out that "the daily caretaker government cannot submit such a request because it was not elected by the same parliament, and therefore the first method is the only way available to dissolve the parliament."[/size]
[size=45]A leader in the Sadrist movement said Thursday that the government of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi will remain for the coming period, and it will hold the new early parliamentary elections. Called by the movement's leader Muqtada al-Sadr.[/size]
[size=45]The head of the Popular Mobilization Authority and one of the leaders of the Shiite (coordinating framework), Faleh al-Fayyad, indicated, on Thursday, that the rerun of the parliamentary elections is no longer an issue specific to the Sadrist movement.[/size]
[size=45]Noting, "The current government is a caretaker government, and the re-election is not within the powers of the caretaker government."[/size]
[size=45]This and in accordance with Article 64 of the Iraqi constitution, first: The Council of Representatives is dissolved, by an absolute majority of its members, at the request of one-third of its members, or at the request of the Prime Minister and with the approval of the President of the Republic, and the Council may not be dissolved during the period of questioning the Prime Minister .[/size]
[size=45]According to the second of the same article, the President of the Republic, upon dissolving the House of Representatives, calls for general elections in the country within a maximum period of sixty days from the date of the dissolution, and the Council of Ministers in this case is considered resigned and continues to conduct daily affairs.[/size]
