Iraq powers agree to work toward snap elections following unrest

BAGHDAD, 06 September 2022, (TON): The prime minister’s office said “Iraq’s top executive powers and major parties agreed Monday at a meeting boycotted by powerful Shiite cleric Moqtada Al-Sadr to work toward holding early elections, a week after deadly unrest.”

The president, prime minister and parliament speaker met with representatives of political parties to chart an exit from an 11-month-long political paralysis.

Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhemi’s office said “they agreed to form a technical committee comprising the various political forces… to bridge differences with the aim of reaching early elections.”
