MP reveals movement to call for early elections: Ending the parliament that offers nothing to the people

12/12/2024

 

Independent MP Mohammed Al-Ziyadi revealed on Thursday that there is a desire to submit a request to the presidency of the House of Representatives to hold early elections and end the work of the current House of Representatives, indicating that the parliament was unable to legislate important disputed laws. 

Al-Ziyadi told Shafaq News Agency, "The House of Representatives, during the period of extending the legislative term, was unable to legislate important and disputed laws," stressing that "the heads of the political blocs were unable to manage the sessions." 

Al-Ziyadi continued: “If the legislative role of the House of Representatives continues to be disrupted after the holiday and in the next legislative session, we will collect signatures to demand early elections and the end of this council, which is no longer able to provide services to the citizen or the country.”

He explained, saying: “After the legislative holiday and in the next legislative session, we will submit a request to the Council Presidency to hold early elections for the House of Representatives by amending the elections law and setting a date for holding legislative elections in the country.”

The Iraqi Council of Representatives failed to hold its 20th regular session on Sunday, December 8, to vote on proposed laws, Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959, the return of properties to their owners covered by some decisions of the dissolved Revolutionary Command Council, and the second amendment to the General Amnesty Law No. 27 of 2016.

Although the House of Representatives extended its legislative session for 30 days on November 7th to pass pending laws, the House was also unable to pass these controversial laws during the extension period, and thus they were postponed until the new legislative session.

The House of Representatives entered a legislative session recess after extending it for 30 days based on Article 58 of the Iraqi Constitution. Consequently, that period has ended and it has become obligatory to enter a recess from December 9 of this year to January 9, 2025, according to political researcher Saif Al-Saadi.
