Iraqi PM Rejects Resignation of 3 Taqaddum Party Ministers
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani rejected the resignations of three ministers who took the move in protest of a ruling by Iraq’s court to terminate the tenure of Speaker Mohammad al-Halbousi. The Federal Supreme Court, the highest judicial body in Iraq, ruled to remove Halbousi, the influential Sunni Speaker, from his position after a complaint filed against him by a representative on charges of “forgery.” In response, the Taqaddum Party, led by Halbousi, announced the resignation of its three ministers in the government.
