Shafaq News/ The head of Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council, Faeq Zaidan, responded today, Thursday, to the news of his candidacy for prime minister in the expected Iraqi government, while noting that the “falsification” of the results of the recent parliamentary elections “has not been proven so far.”
Zaidan said, in statements reported by official media, that “election fraud has not been proven so far with reliable legal evidence.”
He added that “the investigation into the murderers of the demonstrators (who reject the election results) in the vicinity of the Green Zone last Friday is continuing, pending the completion of the investigative committee set up by the prime minister to present it to the judicial body.”
He explained that “the investigation file of the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi is with the committee formed by the prime minister, and has not yet been presented to the judiciary,” noting that “it is still in its early stages.”
Regarding the talk about putting his name up as a candidate to head the new government, Judge Zeidan said that he “refused on more than one occasion to take any position outside the judicial work.”
