Iraqi Federal Court rejects appeal on parliament's first session
Iraq 01:29 PM - 2022-01-25
Iraq's Federal Court rejected an appeal submitted against the first session of the parliament's first session on Tuesday.
The Federal Court rejected the appeals submitted by MPs Bassem Khashan and Mahmoud Daoud.
Iraq's Federal Supreme Court began a special session on Tuesday morning to consider an appeal submitted on the legitimacy of the first session of the new Iraqi parliament, while two new appeals were submitted to the court which their hearing was postponed to February 1.
The Federal Court suspended the parliament's work after it held its first session in early January after MPs Bassem Khashan and Mahmoud Daoud submitted an appeal to the Federal Court citing "legal and constitutional violations" in their election.
The parliament held its first session on January 9 and elected Muhammad al-Halbousi as a speaker, Hakem al-Zamili as the first deputy, and Shakhawan Abdullah as the second deputy.
Following more than 3 months over the recent elections held in Iraq, the country is yet to form a government as political parties have so far been unable to reach understandings.
The party of cleric Muqtada al-Sadr was the largest vote-getter in the Iraqi parliamentary elections.
The country held the elections months ahead of its time. Early elections were one of the demands of the protesters who took to the Iraqi streets in October 2019 to vent their anger and frustration at the government's inability to fight corruption and provide them with security and stability.
