The Iraqi Parliament holds a session to elect its new president

Shafaq News/ Acting Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, opened today, Saturday, the first session of the current legislative term, which is related to electing the Speaker of the House of Representatives to replace the deported Muhammad Al-Halbousi.

Shafaq News Agency correspondent said that Al-Mandalawi opened the session after the quorum was reached with 260 deputies present.

On Friday, the representative of the “Taqaddum” parliamentary bloc, Fahd Al-Rashed, confirmed that the only candidate from his bloc to fill the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives is Shalan Al-Karim.

Al-Rashed told Shafaq News Agency, “Saturday’s session is dedicated to electing the Speaker of the House of Representatives to replace Muhammad Al-Halbousi, and that there is more than one candidate to fill this position, including Representative Salem Al-Issawi, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, Shalan Al-Karim and other candidates.”

He added, “The only candidate from the (Taqaddum) party is MP Shalan Al-Karim, while MP Salem Al-Issawi is the candidate of the (Sovereignty) coalition, and Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani is the candidate of the (Al-Azm) coalition.”

Al-Rashed explained, “The (Taqaddum) Party officially informed the coordination framework and the Kurdish blocs that its only candidate is Representative Shalan Al-Karim.”

The number of candidates for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives reached five representatives:

Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani

Salem Al-Issawi

Shaalan the generous

Talal Al-Zubaie

Amer Abdul Jabbar

While the sixth candidate, Abdul Rahim Al-Shammari, withdrew before the session was held.

The day before yesterday, Thursday, the Presidency of the House of Representatives set the date for a session to elect a new Speaker of Parliament to replace former President Muhammad al-Halbousi.

The Parliament’s Media Department issued an agenda received by Shafaq News Agency, setting today, Saturday, January 13, as the date for electing the new Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Since the end of Al-Halbousi’s membership in the House of Representatives, the House has held several sessions to elect a new speaker, but the issue was not raised in those sessions due to the heads of the political blocs not agreeing on the alternative candidate.

"STATUS OF THE RV" BY DINAR IRAQ & DONG VIETNAM, 13 JAN

 STATUS OF THE RV

Most of the news is all about whether or not the US forces should leave Iraq.

Yes, the CBI is still working on tactics to bring the parallel rate into conformity and stability.

Of course the Iranian backed politicians, especially backed by Nori Al-Maliki will find any reason to push the agenda of getting rid of US forces.

He wants a third term and a dictatorship.

I don’t have to remind you of what happened in 2004 with the ISIS invasion and so, if the forces did happen to pull out, ISIS would not be their biggest worry as the Iranian militia would certainly move in and fill the gap.

We would experience an invasion of Iraq all over again and so this would end the SECURITY part of the needed security and stability Iraq needs to move ahead with the currency reform.

Yes, it would kill the process for very long time.

But in today’s article they show that the US forces are not going anywhere soon as the prime minister Al-Sudani and the Kurdistan president Barzani both request the forces to remain.

I would not worry about this.

So, of course I asked this question in my conversation with my CBI contact on my Wednesday call.

I was also told not to worry about it and it is just pressure and talk from the Iranian back politicians.

We also talked about, of course the monetary reform and where it stood.

I was told it would take some time, maybe weeks or months even for the currency swaps to take the needed effect in leveling out the parallel black market rate for the dollar.

But my contact seemed very optimistic that the plan now in place could move this rate quicker than expected even.

But I was warned not to expect instant success as there is still a period of monitoring it for wide swings, in other words it needs to be stable.

Again I asked what rate the CBI wants to bring the parallel rate of the dollar down to?

I was told at least around the “official” CBI rate.

They are driving to have them match very closely.

In consultation with the IMF this is what they are now mandating and is in the plan.

When this is reached and stable, the committee will be notified to begin the process of deleting the zeros and move ahead with it.

I will always stand by the prophetic word too as I trust God’s Hand to work this for us.

We can see that there has been more progress towards currency reform in the last 12 months than in the twenty years combined.

So go figure what is happening.

It is a new year and all the prophets tell us that in 2024 it is going to be the year of the breakthrough.

Parliamentary forecast for the course of the session to select the Speaker of Parliament: Shaalan Al-Karim is the first to lose, 13 JAN

Parliamentary forecast for the course of the session to select the Speaker of Parliament: Shaalan Al-Karim is the first to lose

Information/private..
Former MP, Jassim Muhammad Jaafar, predicted today, Saturday, the course of the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives within the dome of Parliament, and while he expected that several rounds would be held to decide the most prominent candidate for the presidency, he pointed to Al-Mashhadani’s chances.

Jassim said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “The election session for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, instead of Muhammad Al-Halbousi, will take place according to several rounds,” indicating that “the first round will not witness the victory of any candidate, and the competition will be intense between Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani and Salem Al-Issawi.” And the generous Shaalan.”

He added, “The first candidate who will drop from the nomination race is the Taqaddam Party’s candidate, Shalan Al-Karim, and the competition will be between Al-Mashhadani and Al-Issawi.”

The former MP explained, “The Azm Alliance candidate, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, has more chances of obtaining the position of Speaker of Parliament than Salem Al-Issawi, as a result of the coordination framework’s support for him,” stressing that “If Al-Mashhadani reaches the second round of voting, all the representatives of the coordination framework will be with him.”

A member of the House of Representatives, Ali Al-Jamali, had confirmed in an interview with the “Al-Ma’louma” agency, “The failure to reach consensus on a specific person to head Parliament will not affect the holding of the inauguration session for the replacement today,” adding that the coordination framework tends to vote for the Al-Azm Alliance candidate, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani.

All the forces of the Coordination Framework and its allies are moving to close the page of the expelled Speaker of the House of Representatives, Muhammad al-Halbousi, by installing a replacement, restoring stability to the House of Representatives, and legislating many laws.

Why would Al-Sudani be going to Davos trying to explain how his country is going to be the savior of the Global Financial System? 

 Al-Alaq said he was going to delete the zeros/the project to delete the zeros off the exchange rate .  What did Al-Sudani say?  He said the dinar would be stronger than the dollar.  What did Salih say? 

   He said they were going to have a major announcement.  We're going to see if all three of those guys are telling the truth or not.  I have a feeling they are...

Accounting started January 1st.  Taxation in the dinar, commercial trading in the dinar was supposed to start on the 1st.  We're going to have to watch them expose how this rolls out.
