The Parliamentary Legal Committee revealed, on Wednesday, the possibility to extend the period for the legal selection of the candidate for prime minister.
The committee member, MP, Hussein Al-Oqabi, said in a press statement today, 4 March 2020, that “the period of choosing the prime minister specified by the constitution is not final, and if the decision to choose the prime minister is not decided within 15 days, the period can be extended legally.”

He explained that “the current situation does not bear the delay in passing the ministerial cabinet,” while calling on the political blocs to consider the current situation and not to enter a large crossroads, he said.

The Parliamentary Committee had expressed its concern earlier, in the event that the cabinet cabinet of Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi was not passed during the special session of Parliament last Sunday.
