The prime minister’s media office released a statement on Monday, confirming Al-Sudani’s decision to reject the resignations and directing the ministers to resume their executive duties. This move, the office said, emphasizes Al-Sudani’s commitment to ensuring political representation for all factions of the Iraqi populace and maintaining the country’s political equilibrium.
This development follows the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court’s Nov. 14 decision to terminate the memberships of Al-Halbousi and his rival Sunni lawmaker, Laith al-Dulaimi. The ruling was based on legal violations and a feud between the two politicians. In response, leaders and lawmakers of the Taqaddum Party, led by Al-Halbousi, convened to deliberate the court’s ruling. The party subsequently resolved to withdraw its ministers from the government and to abstain from participating in parliamentary sessions.
