The political situation in Iraq, particularly the balance established after 2003, plays a significant role in determining who will be entrusted with the country's highest office. Candidates for the presidency are typically put forward by Kurdish political parties, and the allocation of this position remains a topic of discussion for an extended period.
Redaksiya, citing TRT Haber, reports that following the general elections held on November 11, 2025, in Iraq, the Coordination Framework, composed of Shia party leaders, had announced former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki as their candidate for prime minister, becoming the largest bloc in parliament. This event caused significant shifts in the country's political arena and further complicated the government formation process.
According to the Iraqi official news agency INA, the parliamentary session planned for today's presidential election has been postponed again due to the insufficient participation of lawmakers. This is related to the failure to secure the quorum necessary to initiate the electoral process. The postponement of the session leads to continued uncertainty in the country's political life and delays in political processes.
Previously, on January 27, a session could not be held due to the insufficient participation of lawmakers. This indicates a trend of continuous postponement in the electoral process and signals an increase in political tensions within the country. This situation raises concerns about Iraq's political future and leaves open the question of when the electoral process will conclude.
