Iraq’s Badr parliamentary bloc withdrew lawmaker Mahdi Taqi Al-Amarli’s resignation letter from parliament on Wednesday, a source within the bloc told Shafaq News.

Badr Organization Secretary-General Hadi Al-Amiri ordered the letter retracted, opting to retain Al-Amarli as one of the group’s representatives in the legislature, according to the source.

Earlier in the day, Al-Amarli, who heads the Badr bloc and serves on parliament’s Security and Defense Committee, had submitted his resignation from both the legislature and the organization.
