Baghdad – Iraq’s parliament will meet on Thursday to “elect the President of the Republic”, a press release from speaker Muhammad Al-Halbousi’s office said on Tuesday, after months of political impasse.
More than a year after the last general election in Iraq, Al-Halbousi’s office said Thursday’s parliamentary session would have “a single item on the agenda, the election of the President of the Republic”.
