SULAIMANI — The Speaker of the Iraqi
Parliament, Mohammed al-Halbousi, the head of the al-Siyada Coalition, Khamis
al-Khanjar, and the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), Masoud
Barzani, said a government must be formed in Baghdad before holding
pre-parliamentary elections.
A statement from the Parliament Speaker's Office announced Halbousi, Khanjar and Barzani met on Sunday (September 11) to
discuss the options the country has in the current political situation.
The three leaders agreed parliament should not
be dissolved and that a new government was needed to overcome the political
deadlock in Baghdad.
The move goes against demands from the Sadrist
Movement to dissolve parliament and go ahead with pre-parliamentary elections
without forming a new government.
