He added that “in the event of the discontinuation or travel of Abdul-Mahdi, there is no constitutional vacuum in the presence of two deputies for him, who will replace him is the first deputy and in the absence of him also will replace the second deputy in the caretaker administration until the formation of the new government.”
He referred to “the incapacity of the resigned Prime Minister to present a proposal to dissolve the House of Representatives,” stressing that “the constitution provided for the approval of the President of the Republic to dissolve the House of Representatives.”
He explained that Abdul-Mahdi’s last message wanted him to urge Parliament to expedite the vote on the new cabinet.
The resigned prime minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, had warned of the danger of entering a new vacuum because of the delay in forming the new government.
