It is the only constitutional path for holding early elections and everyone should be aware of its powers and shoulder its responsibilities before the people."
Al-Halbousi added that "successive governments have not implemented their government program and ministerial curriculum and have not gone beyond the lines that were written in it, which led to the continuation of popular protests because of the lack of services and the lack of the necessities of life." He explained that Article 64 of the Constitution states:
First: The House of Representatives is dissolved by an absolute majority of the number of its members upon the request of one-third of its members or a request from the Prime Minister and with the approval of the President of the Republic. It is not permissible to dissolve the House during the interrogation period of the Prime Minister.

As for the second step, in order for political forces to agree to dissolve parliament, steps to enforce the law, restore state prestige, and demonstrate its ability to hold elections on time without the domination of armed forces outside the country’s framework must follow the electoral process and force people to a specific direction, as happened in the 2018 elections. .
Al-Asadi said, "The third step is to legislate an election law that will guarantee the smooth running of the electoral process and ensure that all citizens have equal opportunities with the realistic possibility of conducting them technically."
The former deputy affirmed, "These steps make determining the date of the elections a real and not a local consumption, and we hope the Prime Minister to intensify his efforts with the political, social and security forces to accomplish these steps so that the early elections are real and not fiction."
And the former lawyer’s lawyer, Ahlam Al-Lami, considered that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi’s hasty decision to set the date for the early elections, noting that “it was first with Al-Kazemi and before setting the date to set deadlines for the electoral law legislation and the amendment of the Commission’s law and the Federal Court’s law,” stressing that “Parliament will delay in implementing legislation These laws, and consequently, delay the elections. "
As for the representative of Salah al-Din Governorate, Muthanna al-Samarrai, he said, "There can be no fair elections before the Federal Court Law is legislated.
Al-Samarrai added in his tweet, "We support setting early elections, but no fair elections can take place before the Federal Court Law, which the constitution gives the authority to ratify its results and accept any appeal, is legislated."
