FSC excludes Zebari from the Presidential election race

he Federal Supreme Court decided today to exclude Hoshyar Zebari from the Presidential election race.

On February six, the Court suspended Zebari’s candidacy.

It said in a statement back then that MPs Ali Turki Jassoum, Dilan Ghafour Salih, Karwan Ali Yarwis, and Karim Shakour Mohammad, called for issuing a ruling against the Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mohammad al-Halboosi, for announcing the list of Presidency candidates that includes Hoshyar Zebari.

The MPs said that the Parliament’s acceptance of Zebari’s candidacy is a violation of the constitution.
