The Iraqi parliament is scheduled to hold its first session of its sixth term on Monday at 12 noon, which includes two items on its agenda.
The first paragraph includes: the swearing-in of the new members of the House of Representatives, and the other includes: the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and his two deputies, according to a statement issued by the Parliament’s Media Department.
In the past few days, the Shiite, Sunni, and Kurdish political forces and parties that won the elections have intensified their discussions in order to decide on the three top leadership positions: Speaker of Parliament, President of the Republic, and Prime Minister.
After the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime in the spring of 2003 at the hands of American forces and their allies, the major political forces of the Shiites, Kurds, and Sunnis adopted a quota system in distributing positions for the three presidencies: the Prime Minister’s office, the Republic, and Parliament.
Last Saturday, the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, confirmed that the first session of the new House of Representatives, scheduled for December 29, 2025, must decide on the appointment of the Speaker of the House and his two deputies, and it is not constitutionally or legally permissible to postpone or extend it.
