Iraqi Parliament extends its legislative term until the ninth of next month
11/7/2024
The Iraqi Parliament decided today, Thursday, to extend the legislative session for 30 days, starting from November 9 of this month.
This comes after the member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Mohammed Al-Khafaji, revealed to Shafaq News Agency that the current legislative session of the Council of Representatives ends on the 9th of this month, and that its extension for another month is subject to Article 58 of the Iraqi Constitution.
He added that according to this article, the legislative term can be extended at the request of the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, or 50 members of parliament, provided that the extension is approved by a vote of the majority of the members of the House.
Al-Khafaji explained that the extension comes to organize the work of Parliament and approve pending laws, as the past period witnessed repeated postponements in the Council’s sessions and the incomplete agenda.
He pointed out that the extension will provide an additional opportunity for the government to submit the draft general budget law for 2025, which is supposed to be submitted before the end of this year. He stressed the importance of the government taking advantage of this time to avoid the delay witnessed in the budget this year.
