Shafaq News/ Member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Mohammed Anouz, confirmed on Thursday that the Iraqi Parliament will not be suspended early due to the upcoming legislative elections, stressing that the Council has a moral and constitutional responsibility to continue holding its sessions and approving the remaining laws.
Anouz added to Shafaq News Agency that the first and second legislative chapters are sufficient to complete the reading, discussion and voting on many laws, stressing that the Council will resume its sessions next week.
He pointed out that Parliament sessions during the month of Ramadan will be in the evening, i.e. after breakfast, to ensure the continuation of legislative work before the end of the current session.
It is noteworthy that the current session of the Iraqi Council of Representatives began on January 9, 2022, and is scheduled to continue for four years, which means that it will end on January 8, 2026.
According to the amended Electoral Law No. 12 of 2018, legislative elections must be held 45 days before the end of the parliamentary term.
Accordingly, the next elections are expected to be held in late November 2025.
Recently, the Independent High Electoral Commission began its technical and logistical preparations to ensure that the elections are held on the scheduled date, in coordination with the Prime Minister’s Office.
