Iraq’s parliament on Monday opened nominations to elect a new speaker as lawmakers convened the inaugural session of the Council of Representatives’ sixth term.
The session was chaired by the eldest member, Amer Al-Fayez, who launched the nomination process immediately after newly elected MPs took the constitutional oath in Arabic and Kurdish, the country’s two official languages.
The session proceeded after a quorum was reached, with 292 lawmakers in attendance, according to Shafaq News correspondent.
