The Supreme Judicial Council issued a statement on Saturday clarifying that it will not interfere in the nomination of any specific individual for the position of Prime Minister. The statement read, “With the start of the constitutional deadlines for selecting a candidate for the position of Prime Minister, it has been observed that some political entities and figures vying for this position are involving the name of the President of the Supreme Judicial Council in endorsing or nominating specific individuals. These individuals are using anonymous media outlets to spread these rumors, aiming to discredit the judiciary by disseminating false information intended to undermine the judiciary and weaken the chances of their rivals in reaching the position of Prime Minister.”
He continued, “Here, the Supreme Judicial Council reiterates what was clarified on 11/27/2025, that the judiciary does not interfere in nominating a specific person, because this matter is not within its jurisdiction,” noting that “legal measures will be taken against anyone who violates the law by abusing the constitutionally independent judiciary.”
