After a year of blockage, the Republic of Iraq’s presidential election session started among the heaviness of Kamel.
Following a series of missile bursts that were aimed towards the heavily defended green area, the authorities started their discussions.
A missile firing from Al-Arabiya/Al-Hadath pointed to several injuries from the area around the Parliament in the Green Zone, but the correspondent emphasised that he would not be delayed from the parliament.
Nine Katyusha missiles were targeted, resulting in multiple injuries while the security media cell in Iraq was reporting.
She made a point of saying that the missiles hit the Green Zone and areas nearby in the heart of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
The missiles were launched east of the city toward the Green Zone, according to the “Arab/Hadath” report.
She emphasised that no party had adopted this procedure while also pointing out that many people benefited from the election session’s obstruction.
These attacks came amid high -level security alert in the Iraqi capital, with a session to elect a president for the republic.
It also happened at a time when the political landscape underwent a striking change in recent hours, as a result of the Kurdistan Democratic Party’s decision today that Riber Ahmed, its candidate, would not be running.
In the meantime, Abdul Latif Rashid’s support was confirmed by the aforementioned party’s leaders.
It is noteworthy that the presidency in Iraq is typically associated with the Kurds, specifically with a representative of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. However, the Kurdistan Regional Government, which has self-rule, recently declared Riber as its candidate, breaking with “the norms that followed.”
The current president Barham Saleh, the official candidate of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the 78-year-old former minister Abdul Latif Rashid, a leader in the National Union and the candidate independently, as well as Riber Ahmed, Minister of Interior in the Kurdistan region, the candidate for The Kurdistan Democrat, which announced at the time today that it was withdrawing, were the other two names that were in competition for this position.
The fact that the country is currently experiencing a political crisis between the Muqtada al-Sadr-led Sadrist movement and the “coordination framework” (which includes the Nuri Mali-led State of Law coalition, the Al-Fateh alliance, and other Iranian-aligned factions) has so far prevented the election of the Republic of the Republic or the formation of a government.
Since July 2022, when the two sides of the most notable argument took their sit-in to the streets of Baghdad, the conflict has grown more serious.
In order to move the nation toward reforms in light of its opponents’ rejection of this trend and their insistence on the formation of a government by their candidate and the election of a president before any new elections, the Sadrist movement began with the goal of dissolving the House of Representatives and holding early legislative elections.
The conflict intensified on August 29, 2022, into bloody skirmishes between the two sides in the heart of Baghdad, which resulted in the deaths of 30 people and gravely raised the prospect of further escalation.
