Shafaq News/ On Thursday, the Dhi Qar Provincial Council voted by a majority to Azzat al-Nashi as the new Chairman.
According to Shafaq News correspondent, the voting session was attended by 14 out of 18 council members.
Al-Nashi is reportedly affiliated with the "Services (Khadamat)" bloc.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Council held a session at the police headquarters and voted to remove its Chairman, Abdul-Baqi al-Omari, from his position by an overwhelming majority.
In response to these developments, al-Omari warned of severe consequences for Nasiriyah, citing what he described as a "political coup" being orchestrated at the police headquarters.
