Today, Sunday, Representative Khalil Ghazi expected that Sunni disputes over assuming the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives would continue until the end of the current electoral cycle.
Ghazi said in a statement to the Al-Ma’louma Agency, “In a political process like Iraq, everything is expected, and the vacancy of the position for the period from the dismissal of Al-Halbousi until today disrupted the work of the Council by 60%, in addition to the political problems that preceded the formation of the government.”
He added, “The lack of consensus between the Sunni blocs will deepen the dispute,” calling on “the representatives close to those blocs to intervene in order to resolve matters and move the council forward to legislate the largest number of laws.”
The Sunni political parties have not yet agreed to choose a new speaker for the Iraqi Council of Representatives, to succeed the dismissed Muhammad al-Halbousi, which puts the country and the Council before difficult challenges in exercising its legislative as well as its oversight role.
