The Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) announced on Saturday that it will not interfere in the nomination of any political figure for the post of prime minister, stressing that such matters fall outside its constitutional powers and responsibilities.
In a statement, the council warned that it would take strict legal measures against anyone who attempts to involve or use the name of the judiciary in political rivalries related to the selection of a prime minister.
The SJC noted that with the start of the constitutional deadline for nominating a prime ministerial candidate, some political parties and figures have attempted to claim approval or support from the president of the Supreme Judicial Council for their candidates.
The council reiterated that it had previously clarified its position in a statement issued on November 27, emphasizing that it does not interfere in the affairs or nomination of the prime minister.
