Shafaq News/ An informed source revealed, on Monday, a meeting scheduled to be held tomorrow regarding the date of electing a new Speaker of the House of Representatives to succeed Muhammad Al-Halbousi.
The source explained to Shafaq News Agency, “The heads of the parliamentary blocs will hold a meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, in the Parliament building in the presence of the Presidency of the House of Representatives in order to agree on setting the date for holding the session to elect the new Speaker of Parliament.”
On Tuesday, November 14, 2023, the Federal Supreme Court, “the highest judicial authority in Iraq,” announced the termination of the membership of Parliament Speaker Muhammad Al-Halbousi, against the backdrop of a lawsuit filed against him by Representative Laith Al-Dulaimi, in which he accused him of forging his (Al-Dulaimi’s) resignation from membership in the House of Representatives. As a result, the Federal Court ruled to terminate their membership (Al-Halbousi and Al-Dulaimi).
