Shafaq News / The leader of the Sovereignty Alliance, Issa Al-Issawi, spoke on Saturday about the possibility of his ascending to the Iraqi Parliament, to fill the seat of the deposed Speaker of the Council, Muhammad Al-Halbousi.
Al-Issawi told Shafaq News Agency that he is the first reserve for the first district in Anbar Governorate, in which Muhammad Rikan Al-Halbousi was, and according to the law of the High Electoral Commission, any deputy whose membership falls or expires, the reserve candidate replaces him.
He added: “Since the Federal Court decided to terminate Al-Halbousi’s membership, according to the law, I will be his replacement to occupy the parliamentary seat for the first district in the Fallujah District in Anbar Governorate.”
Al-Issawi continued: “After the end of the administrative procedures between the Election Commission, the Federal Court, and the House of Representatives, I will go to the House of Representatives, to take the constitutional oath, and obtain membership in Parliament.”
On Tuesday, November 14, the Federal Supreme Court decided to terminate the membership of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Muhammad al-Halbousi, based on a “forgery” lawsuit filed by Representative Laith al-Dulaimi.
Following the issuance of the court’s decision, Al-Halbousi said in a speech during the House of Representatives session, followed by Shafaq News Agency, that “there are those who seek to fragment the political components of society.”
The head of the Federal Supreme Court, the highest judicial authority in Iraq, Jassem Muhammad Abboud, confirmed the day before yesterday, Thursday, that the decision to terminate the membership of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Muhammad al-Halbousi, is binding on all authorities and is not subject to legal challenge.
