chattels Friday, November 1, 2019 PM Abdul Mahdi Ready To Step Down Will It Satisfy The Protests? http://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2019/11/pm-abdul-mahdi-ready-to-step-down-will.html
chattels " ........... whether this will satisfy the demonstrators? They have called for the prime minister to step down, a new election law and balloting so President Salah’s announcement meets all those demands.
The process however matters, because if it’s just the ruling parties re-creating the current system, then the street will not be happy. The question has always been whether the political elite can really carry out change or will they just change the façade on the government."
chattels Iran and the Kurdish parties are reportedly against this scenario and want Abdul Mahdi to stay in power. One of the prime minister’s main policies has been to restore budget payments to the Kurdistan region (KRG). In return, the KRG was supposed to export oil for the federal government, but has not.
Despite dozens of complaints about this from parliamentarians the premier has not punished the Kurds. In return, Irbil is one of the prime minister’s main supporters.

chattels Abdul Mahdi has also done nothing about pro-Iran Hashd groups who have carried out attacks on bases in Iraq that contain U.S. soldiers and attacked Saudi Arabia. Tehran has also been intimately involved in the suppression of the protests. Another important matter is whether this will satisfy the demonstrators?
chattels Reidar Visser @reidarvisser There's a good deal of confusion re latest speech by #Iraq president Barham Salih about ongoing protests. He does not have the power to call fresh elections but jointly with the PM he can suggest this to parliament and it will be put to an absolute majority vote (const art 64)
chattels Article 64
First
The Council of Representatives may be dissolved by an absolute majority of the number of its members, or upon the request of one-third of its members by the Prime Minister with the consent of the President of the Republic. The Council shall not be dissolved during the period in which the Prime Minister is being questioned.
Second
Upon the dissolution of the Council of Representatives, the President of the Republic shall call for general elections in the country within a period not to exceed sixty days from the date of its dissolution. The Council of Ministers in this case is deemed resigned and continues to run everyday business.

chattels Iraqi president pledges early elections while protesters call for more radical solutions Omar Sattar November 1, 2019
chattels The sources said that the real dispute is not really over early elections as much as it is related to the form of the future government and that it is likely that the dispute over the electoral law will last longer than expected.
