Determination: Parliamentary consensus to dismiss Halbousi from the presidency of Parliament
Mohammed Dhari al-Dulaimi, a leader in the “Azm” Alliance, revealed on Monday that there is a broad parliamentary movement to collect signatures from a number of MPs from various blocs, with the aim of withdrawing confidence from Speaker of Parliament Haibat al-Halbousi and removing him from his position.
Al-Dulaimi told Al-Maalomah that “there is an agreement among MPs from the Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish components to proceed with the procedures for removing the Speaker of Parliament, due to what he described as violations in the management of the sessions to grant confidence to the government and the mechanism for voting on the cabinet.”
He added that “the management of the sessions witnessed, in his words, “quabbles and attempts to exclude some candidates,” indicating that this led to tensions within the parliament.”
Al-Dulaimi accused the Speaker of Parliament of “unilaterally making decisions,” stressing that there are “attempts to use Parliament to serve a specific political party, namely the Taqaddum Alliance.”
