SULAIMANI — The Alliance For the People said they presented a 17-point list of preconditions for their participation in parliament’s session to elect the president of the republic but none of their demands have been fulfilled and the New Generation Movement (NGM) is boycotting the meeting on Wednesday (March 30).

The NGM fraction in the Iraqi Parliament announced they are boycotting the session until their demands are met.

The President of the NGM and leader of the associated Alliance For the People, Shaswar Abdulwahid, warned on Tuesday the party would not join the parliament session if their preconditions were not met and said he has asked members of the party to not attend parliament sessions if they are not in the interest of the public.

The Alliance For the People presented on Saturday its 17-point list of their demands for reform in Iraq.

The session to elect the president of the republic was postponed to Wednesday after parliament was unable to meet quorum following a boycott of 126 MPs.
