The quorum for the parliament to convene and elect an Iraqi president is two-thirds out of 329 members (Information Office of the Iraqi Prime Minister/AFP)[/size]
[rtl]The session to elect [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in Iraq was postponed after the two-thirds quorum in Parliament could not be completed, after the House of Representatives was called to meet on Monday, the seventh of February (February), amid a wide boycott by a number of deputies and parliamentary blocs.[/rtl]
[rtl]The boycott positions came after the Iraqi judiciary announced the suspension of the nomination of one of the most prominent candidates for the presidency, Hoshyar Zebari, as a result of suspicions of corruption.[/rtl]
[rtl]The legal quorum for [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to convene , which is two-thirds out of 329 members, was not present.[/rtl]
[rtl]The Sadrist movement, consisting of 73 deputies, announced a boycott of the session since Saturday.[/rtl]
[rtl]Commenting on Zebari's candidacy[/rtl]
[rtl]And based on a lawsuit submitted by four deputies, the Iraqi Federal Court, which is the highest judicial body in the country, decided on Sunday to "temporarily suspend the procedures for electing Hoshyar Zebari until a case is resolved" against him related to accusations of corruption against him.[/rtl]
[rtl]The plaintiffs considered that Zebari, one of the most prominent Kurdish political figures in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] during the era after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, does not meet the constitutional conditions for assuming the position of President of the Republic, including being "of good reputation and integrity", according to a copy of the case text and the court's decision, which They were published by the official Iraqi News Agency.[/rtl]
[rtl]They listed supporting reasons, including Parliament's decision to withdraw confidence from Zebari in 2016 when he was Minister of Finance, on the background of "accusations related to financial and administrative corruption."[/rtl]
[rtl]The lawsuit also touched on at least two other cases with which the 68-year-old former minister is associated, especially during his tenure at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[/rtl]
[rtl]The plaintiffs talked about the existence of "another case" against the background of Zebari "abusing his influence and authority by spending huge sums of money on real estate that does not belong to the state."[/rtl]
[rtl]25 candidates and the actual competition between two[/rtl]
[rtl]The "Sadr" bloc supported Zebari, and announced its boycott of the session before the court's decision. The leader of the Sadrist movement [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , was presented as the spearhead against corruption in Iraq, and he believed that the suspicions about Zebari would embarrass him. Al-Sadr called for consensus on apresidentialcandidate.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][/rtl]
[rtl]On Sunday evening, the Sovereignty Alliance, which includes 51 deputies, led by Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi, an ally of the Sadrist movement, revealed its boycott of the session. The Kurdistan Democratic Party bloc to which Zebari belongs, consisting of 31 deputies, announced its boycott "for the requirements of the public interest and with the aim of completing the consultations."[/rtl]
[rtl]These rapid developments reflect the severity of the political differences in Iraq since the legislative elections that were held nearly four months ago, and ended with a major victory for the Sadrist movement and the retreat of the pro-Iranian blocs.[/rtl]
[rtl]Since the country's first multiple elections in 2005 and organized after the US invasion that led to the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, the position of President of the Republic has traditionally been held by the Kurds, while the Shiites hold the prime ministership, and the Sunnis the parliament.[/rtl]
[rtl]About 25 candidates are competing for the presidency of the Iraqi republic, and it was believed that the competition would actually be limited to Zebari and the current president, Barham Salih, who belongs to the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, which practically shares influence with the Kurdistan Democratic Party in the autonomous region of Kurdistan.[/rtl]
[rtl]naming the head of government[/rtl]
The President of the Republic must, within the 15 days following his election, choose a Prime Minister whose name is due to the largest coalition under the parliament.
Usually, the naming of the prime minister occurs in a consensus among the major political forces, but so far, these forces have not been able to form an alliance or agree on the name of a candidate to head the government, a position that practically holds the executive authority, succeeding its current incumbent, Mustafa Al-Kazemi.
Upon his nomination, the Prime Minister will have a month to form a government, but the path of political steps seems complicated even before it is initiated, and Muqtada al-Sadr confirms that he has a sufficient majority in Parliament to proceed with the formation of a "national majority government", hoping thus to disengage from the consensus tradition that It often hinders the decision-making process.
[rtl]However, this means that it puts outside its calculations powerful forces in the political arena, especially the " [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] " that includes the "Al-Fateh" coalition representing the "Popular Mobilization Forces" and composed mostly of armed factions loyal to Iran and won 17 seats in the elections, and the "State of Law" coalition headed by Former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki (33 seats), and other Shiite parties.[/rtl]
[rtl]The Coordination Framework, in turn, confirms that it has the majority in the House of Representatives.[/rtl]
[rtl]Sharing quotas[/rtl]
[rtl]"No one knows how to be in the opposition, everyone knows how to share shares," Iraqi political analyst Hamza Haddad told AFP, speaking of the possibility of forming an "expanded coalition."[/rtl]
[rtl]The political tug of war is accompanied by violence from time to time, many of which targeted American interests, and in late January, three missiles landed near al-Halbousi's house. In November, the authorities announced that Al-Kazemi had survived an assassination attempt.[/rtl]
