 Progress: Al-Halbousi’s acquittal has become conclusive, and his return to the presidency of Parliament is on the table

 Mawazine News – Baghdad
 The leader of the Taqaddam Party, Ammar Al-Jumaili, on Thursday described the withdrawal of the party’s candidate, Shaalan Al-Karim, from competing for the presidency of Parliament as conclusive evidence of Muhammad Al-Halbousi’s innocence of the charges against him.
 Al-Jumaili said in a televised interview followed by Mawazine News, “Shaalan Al-Karim became a stumbling block to political understandings after the strong objection to him assuming the presidency of Parliament, so he withdrew.”
 He added, “Al-Karim was subjected to great pressure during the past days, which prompted him to resign from the Taqadum Party and continue as an independent representative until the next parliamentary elections are held.”
 He explained, “The Taqaddum Party has a constitutional entitlement as the Sunni party that won the elections, so one of the candidates will be renamed.”
 Al-Jumaili pointed out that “Al-Karim’s resignation from the nomination and the party took place without any pressure, and it is conclusive evidence that Al-Halbousi did not threaten any leader or politician in his party, which brings Al-Halbousi back to Parliament and then to the presidency of Parliament.”
