Veteran Iraqi politician Naseer Kamel Chadirji, secretary-general of the National Democratic Party, died on Saturday at the age of 93 after a decades-long political career.

Chadirji served on the Iraqi Governing Council, established in 2003 during the transitional period following the fall of Saddam Hussein’s government, and later headed the National Democratic Party.

He was the son of Kamel Chadirji, founder of the National Democratic Party, and the brother of the late Iraqi architect Rifat Chadirji.
