Shafaq News/ The leader in the coordination framework, Saad Al-Saadi, commented today, Thursday, on the decision of the Federal Court to temporarily suspend the work of the elected Presidency of the Parliament, after two complaints submitted by the independent representative, Basem Khashan, and Representative Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani.
The framework includes Shiite political forces opposed to the results of the Iraqi legislative elections that were held in October of the year 2021, which also objected to the convening of the first session of the Iraqi parliament in its new session on the ninth of this month, which witnessed the election of the Speaker and his two deputies.
Al-Saadi told Shafaq News Agency, “The issuance of the Federal Court’s decision regarding the temporary suspension of the work of the elected Presidency of the Parliament confirms and indicates what we were saying that the session for the election of the Presidency of the Parliament took place unconstitutionally and illegally, but it took place according to political deals and agreements, especially after the chaos events. and overstepping the head of the age.”
And that “the Federal Court, may have a new decision in the coming days cancels the election of the presidency of the parliament once and for all.”
Al-Saadi added, “We are waiting for what will be issued regarding the resolution of complaints regarding the first parliament session,” adding that “what will be issued by the judiciary is respectable and binding on all parties.”
In turn, Mahdi Taqi al-Amerli, head of the “Badr” parliamentary bloc that is affiliated with the coordination framework, considered the decision of the Federal Court to temporarily suspend the work of the Presidency of the Parliament “a real victory for democracy and further proof of the integrity of the Iraqi judiciary.”
Amerli said in a statement, “We trust the judiciary and constantly appeal to it and respect its decisions.”
He added, “Our hope is great that the Iraqi people and the world will see a historical legal position soon that will resolve what happened in the opening session of the House of Representatives,” calling on “all political blocs to resort to the law and the constitution, open a serious dialogue, and not exclude partners.”
The Federal Supreme Court, the highest judicial authority in Iraq, issued a decision earlier today to temporarily suspend the work of the Presidency of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, after two lawsuits filed by the independent representative, Basem Khashan, and Representative Mahmoud Daoud Salman, regarding the first session and the related violations of the constitution and the internal system of the Council.
The court decided, according to its ruling, to suspend the work of the Presidency of the House of Representatives elected in the first session of the House of Representatives held on January 9, 2022, temporarily, until the two cases are resolved.
The court stated, “The decision was issued in agreement and is final and binding on all authorities.”
On Monday, the independent deputy, Basem Khashan, revealed his intention to file a complaint with the Federal Court to challenge the election of the Presidency of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, last Sunday, for constitutional violations.
