The Federal Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit of the deputy of the coordination framework

Shafaq News / The Federal Supreme Court (the highest judicial authority in Iraq) rejected on Thursday the lawsuit of the deputy of the coordination framework, Alia Nassif, against the nomination of Reber Ahmed for the post of President of the Republic.

Nassif had filed a lawsuit against the President of the Republic, the Speaker of Parliament, in addition to their guest, in which she requested the ruling of unconstitutionality and the invalidity of the nomination of candidate Reber Ahmed Barzani.

Yesterday, Wednesday, the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the Sadrist Bloc and the Sovereignty Coalition announced the formation of the “Save the Parliamentary Homeland” coalition, while they presented “Reber Ahmed” as a candidate for the post of President of the Republic and “Jaafar al-Sadr” for prime minister.

The Kurdistan Democratic Party had announced the candidacy of the region’s Interior Minister, Riber Ahmed, for the position of the presidency of the Iraqi Republic, to enter into competition mainly with the candidate of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the current president, Barham Salih, whose candidacy sparked differences between the two parties.

The Democratic Party says that the Union nominated Saleh for the position without the consent of the rest of the Kurdish forces, which prompted him to put forward a candidate from his side to fill the position.

According to the political custom followed throughout the previous sessions, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan has held the position of President of the Republic since the overthrow of the previous regime in 2003.

But in terms of numbers, the fact that the Kurdistan Democratic Party won 31 parliamentary seats in the recent legislative elections, compared to only 17 seats for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, may reverse the equation this time
