He added, “The dissolution of Parliament, whether through the parliament’s vote on the dissolution, or the dissolution of Parliament by the authority of the President of the Republic if he asked the Prime Minister to dissolve Parliament and he responded to his request, and issued a Republican Decree to dissolve Parliament, which entails the transformation of the government from a full-fledged government to a caretaker government. Elections for the new parliament must be held within sixty days. ”Ended 29/43
