Baghdad-time
Parliamentary integrity Commission revealed Friday, possession of documents confirming unconstitutional and illegal entrusting the Presidency to Talabani at the moment after his absence for treatment and termination.

 

Committee member Rep. Nervana in "time", "possessed documents and official letters confirming that the Presidency is not the law that you must position the speaker Osama Al-nujaifi, according to the Iraqi Constitution."

 

Al-Asadi said that "Parliament is now the candidacy of another character to assume the Office of President of the Republic", said he was astonished by "prevention of family visit President Talabani by the characters, to see his ability to continue his duties or not.

 

Al-Asadi cautioned that "the laws voted by Parliament does not need to authenticate the Presidency considered it would be a window over a period of 15 days in the absence of ratification of the Presidency in accordance with article 73 of the Constitution VI."

 

this translation looks like Najafi decides which candidates are put forward for consideration.

So officially Najafi would or should have taken his place via constitution.   hmmmmm it seems to me Talabani's family and party did NOT want Najafi to succeed Talabani's position.  Why else would they have kept Talabaini's condition such a seceret?

I think what this is saying is that Najafi, as head of the parliament (one of the three president's) is responsible for choosing the next president, not that he will be able to take the role.
