Iraq’s Presidential Election Back On

Iraq’s delayed presidential election appears to be back on. The Iraqi parliament on Saturday reopened registration for people who want to be candidates for president, AFP reported. The parliament, which elects the president, who largely performs ceremonial duties, voted on Saturday to reopen candidate registration for three days. The position of president is reserved for a Kurd; the president then names a prime minister from the parliament’s largest party.

Parliamentary elections were held in Iraq in October 2021, but the results were not confirmed until several months later. A majority bloc has yet to be formed.
