A New Political Proposal To Hold A Popular Referendum On The Dissolution Of ParliamentThe Information/Baghdad..
The prominent Iraqi politician Nadim Al-Jabri confirmed, on Wednesday, the possibility of the Federal Supreme Court resorting to a popular referendum to dissolve the House of Representatives, indicating that this step will depend on the court’s interpretation that the people are the source of all authorities and have the right to self-determination.
Al-Jabri said in a statement to “The Information”, that “the invitations made by some parties to the Federal Supreme Court to dissolve the House of Representatives are obligatory, and the results will be announced soon.”
He added, “The court may reject these demands due to its lack of direct jurisdiction in the decision to dissolve the House of Representatives, which is the largest and most important legislative authority in the country, or to go to the popular path.”
Al-Jabri explained, “The interpretation of the constitution indicates that the people are the source of powers, and the court may interpret that paragraph and call for a popular referendum to decide the fate of Parliament and the people’s representatives across the same street.” finished/25 d
