Baghdad-Sana
Today, the Iraqi Federal Court temporarily suspended the procedures for electing Hoshyar Zebari for the presidency.
And the Iraqi News Agency (INA) quoted the court as saying in a statement that it had decided to temporarily suspend the procedures for Zebari's election until he resolved a case against him, noting that the decision was issued by the majority.
Four deputies in Parliament had filed a lawsuit against Zebari, in which they said, "His candidacy violates the provisions of the constitution."
This decision comes on the eve of a parliament session dedicated to electing a president, and Zebari was one of the most prominent candidates in it.
