Political split over the extension of the Iraqi parliament

 

Baghdad Zeid Salem

24 June 2018

 

 

 

 

The Iraqi parliament is trying to extend itself for a period of three months, most likely until the Supreme Federal Court (the highest judicial authority) approves the results of the parliamentary elections held on 12 May last, according to manual counting and sorting, amid a split between the political blocs.

According to the fourth amendment to the law of elections to the Iraqi parliament, which was debated by the current parliament in a first reading, Friday, the work of the House of Representatives, which will expire constitutionally, the end of June, will continue until the ratification of the election results.

The Supreme Judicial Council did not specify the approximate period for the counting and counting of the results of the elections, which were conducted according to electronic screening, and were challenged, but a source from the Electoral Commission, said on Sunday, the "new Arab", " It may take at least a full month, because of the traditional mechanism followed, as well as the pressure that will be exercised on some staff of the Commission. "

" 
Hasnawi: extend the life of parliament, will protect Iraq from the constitutional vacuum 

"
"The completion of the process of counting and sorting does not mean the announcement of the results, because the results will go through more than one stage, and each Iraqi province has a timing, if there are no violations because of the fear of some counterfeiters in the elections, especially parties that manipulated the results and got many seats, To be accountable if the number of seats decreased. "

The proposed law to extend the life of the current Iraqi parliament, political division on it, as not all parties agree, while others are pushing for approval, in conjunction with consultations to form the mass bloc , for the formation of the government.

In this context, Ahmad al-Hasnawi, a member of the Dawa Party (Nouri al-Maliki's wing), told the "new Arab" that "the approval of the Federal Court to extend the life of parliament, will protect the country from the constitutional vacuum."

He considered that the proposal of the law "will not lead to the cessation of negotiations and dialogue between the parties produced by the recent elections, and the decisions of the parliament does not affect the night meetings of the parties on the discussion of electoral programs and ministries and quotas."

 

On the other hand, Hussein al-Najjar, a member of the alliance of "Suron" (Moqtada al-Sadr and civilians), the "new Arab", that the proposal to extend the current parliament, "represents a real decline."

"It is surprising that the parliament is back to work with remarkable vigor, following a long delay over the past months," he said. "The losers in the elections are still trying to stay in power."

" 
Carpenter: 
losers in the elections are still trying to stay in power 

"
He stressed that "it is necessary to address the current parliamentary crisis, through the formation of the Committee to amend the Constitution to prevent again such practices, the consequences may be disastrous for the achievements of the Iraqi people to achieve good results in the elections."

Najjar said that the parliament's extension of the extension is not valid, and must be subject to the will of the Iraqi people, and parliamentarians and parties losing, to accept the results of the election and awareness of its size.

Rahim al-Darraji, a leader of the al-Fath alliance, said that the proposal to extend parliament's work would be "passed this weekend."

He said that "the public interest requires the continuation of the work of parliament, as the executive authority continues," adding that "the majority of members of the House of Representatives with the extension of the work of the Council, until the ratification of the election results."

In turn, Abdel Karim Abtan MP for the "National Coalition" (Iyad Allawi), that "the extension of the work of the House of Representatives is temporary, until the completion of counting and sorting, and the ratification of the election results, and will distance the country from the constitutional vacuum crisis.

Also in the positions, the Kurdish Change Movement, close to Baghdad and the opposition to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), called the parliament to extend its life as a "dangerous precedent."

"We have been criticizing the parliament of the Kurdistan region for extending its work, so how can we accept the extension of the work of the Federal Parliament?" Said the leader of the movement, Sarwa Abdel Wahid, in a statement.

 

Legal opinion

While there is a political debate about the possibility of extension of the Iraqi parliament, pending approval of the results of the parliamentary elections, legalists believe that the decision to extend the same is contrary to the Constitution.

In this context, said the law professor Ali Tamimi, the "new Arab", that the Federal Supreme Court will challenge the law to extend the life of Parliament, noting that "the extension of the life of parliament is an explicit constitutional violation, and a number of provisions of the Constitution."

He added that "the Iraqi constitution was explicit to determine the age of Parliament, which is four years starting from the first meeting and ends at the last session in the fourth year," noting that "the Federal Court will appeal this amendment in the event of adoption, during the coming sessions, because it violates the provisions of the Iraqi constitution, .

The Iraqi constitutional expert Tariq Harb, a project to extend the life of the Iraqi parliament, as a "coup."

The war, in a statement, that "the extension of the life of parliament for more than four years is prescribed by the Constitution, is a parliamentary coup similar to the coup and the party coup."

And the comedy continues. So now, it appears, they have an open-ended session that doesn't require a quorum. And then only 40 folks bother to show up??? While they are busy covering their butts, maybe they should consider doing some real work. Like all those laws they should have voted on the last 4 years, that await action. Could there be a bigger pile of trash than the Iraq parliament ??

Reasons current members of parliament wish to extend their term:

 

1. they are currently stealing from the government, and want to keep stealing from the government as long as possible

 

2. they need more time to cover their crimes

 

3. they need to pass a couple of last minute items that favor their own agendas

 

4. they want the extra paychecks

 

5. they may stand to lose all immunity as of June 30th

 

6. they can't reserve a U-Haul all the way from Iran because all the local ones are booked already

Well I will say one thing, that was world record speed from the Feds on their decision that extending parliament was a 'no go'. Let's move on now. Next step.....all the GOI losers names go on the 'no fly' list at airports.
