SULAIMANI — The Iraqi Federal Supreme Court
announced on Sunday (September 4) the court will hold a hearing on September 28
over an appeal against the resignation of MPs from the Sadrist Movement.
A statement from the court announced a lawyer, Ziadin
Rahmala, filed the appeal against the decision by Iraqi Parliament Speaker
Mohammed al-Halbousi to sign the letters of resignation filed by MPs from the
Sadrist Movement.
Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the movement,
instructed MPs from the bloc to hand in resignation letters to the parliament's presidency on June 12. The former head of the Sadrist Movement's bloc in parliament, Hassan al-Azari, presented all 73 letters of resignation to
Halbousi, who accepted them.
The Sadrist Movement was considered the largest
bloc by number of seats in parliament before the mass resignation of its MPs.
The move came after the Iraqi parliament failed to form a government and was
unable to elect a president of the republic following elections held in October
2021.
