Shafaq News/ The independent member of the House of Representatives, Basem Khashan, considered on Thursday that the recent Federal Supreme Court decision implicitly condemned Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi for suspending the legislative sessions of the Council.
Khashan said in a post on the social networking sites “Facebook”, “The recent decision of the Federal Court implicitly condemned the Speaker of the Council of perjury and violation of the Constitution because he suspended the sessions of the Council by an individual decision, and disrupted its work.”
The Federal Supreme Court (the highest judicial authority in Iraq) had announced earlier today, that no authority in the country may “exceed the constitutional periods indefinitely”, stressing at the same time that it is not within its competence to dissolve the Iraqi parliament, in Its response to the Sadrist movement’s suit in this regard.
Nassar al-Rubaie, Secretary-General of the Sadrist bloc, had filed a lawsuit against the President of the Republic, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to rule to dissolve the House of Representatives for its fifth session, and to oblige the President of the Republic to set a date for holding legislative elections in accordance with the provisions of Article 64/second of the Constitution.
The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, had called on the Supreme Judicial Council to dissolve parliament within a period not exceeding the twentieth of this month, and assigning the President of the Republic to set a date for early elections, but the Council responded to al-Sadr’s request to dissolve parliament, saying: “He does not have this authority.” .
The content of the lawsuit deals with accusations of failing to elect a President of the Republic and violating the constitutional deadlines for forming the new government.
