FSC: reopening Presidential candidature is unconstitutional

Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled the parliament’s decree to reopen candidature for the republic’s presidency “unconstitutional”.

The Court said there is no constitutional provision that gives the Parliament Presidium the power to reopen the candidature for the Presidency of the republic.

It noted that such a decision can be taken by the Parliament itself, not the Parliament Presidium.
