Ahmed Al-Hasoud was unanimously chosen as the chairman of the Nineveh Provincial Council, while Muhammad Abdullah Al-Jubouri, also known as "Abu Fanar," was elected as the deputy chairman. Furthermore, most of the Council voted to reappoint Abdul Qadir al-Dakhil for a second term as the governor of Nineveh.
