[size=45]Yesterday, Wednesday, Iraq entered the stage of a constitutional vacuum after Parliament was unable from the first session to elect a president of the republic until the end of the constitutional deadline on the sixth of this April, while the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, called on the security forces to stay away from sectarian, sectarian and nationalist headlines.[/size]

[size=45]40 candidates competed for the presidency; At the forefront of them are the candidate of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the current President of the Republic, Barham Salih, and the candidate of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Reber Ahmed. Reber Ahmed had replaced the former candidate, former Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, who was disqualified by the Federal Supreme Court from running on corruption charges when he assumed the position of Minister of Finance; The Iraqi parliament withdrew confidence from him in 2016.[/size]

[size=45]The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, had given the political blocs an opportunity to form the new government without the Sadrist bloc, with a deadline set in 40 days.[/size]
[size=45]He explained that the Federal Court has the powers to withdraw confidence from Parliament, declare an emergency government, or extend the terms of the President and Prime Minister and keep them in their positions.[/size]

It is our right to have a religious and cultural affiliation, but Iraq remains the biggest title that we must preserve and protect." Al-Kazemi indicated that “Iraq is going through crises and will cross them and become stronger, and the political forces must assume their responsibility and be at the level of the challenge, and we must move in the near future from the militarization of society to the civil society that serves its children in education, health and a decent life.”[/size]
