Political: Iraqi Parliament Sends Elections Law Back To Presidency After Amendment (RTTNews) - Iraq's parliament Monday has passed an amended version of the new election law, without considering a demand by vice-president Tariq al-Hashemi. Al-Hashemi, a Sunni Arab, revoked Article 1 of the law demanding 15% seats in parliament for displaced people who fled violence in the country since 2003. He sent the law back to the Iraqi Council of Representatives to accommodate his demand. Instead, the lawmakers amended the law, allowing voters outside Iraq to vote for candidates in their own provinces, as if they were still at home. It would give the Kurds more seats than the bill passed by parliament earlier this month. The Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq last week threatened to boycott the country's parliamentary election in January protesting disparity in allocation of parliamentary seats for the Kurdish province of Sulaimaniyah. The amended version of the law was sent back to the Iraqi presidency for approval. Iraq's election commission halted all preparations for the elections Hashemi proposed an amendment. A delay in the election, which is crucial to strengthening Iraqi democracy, could affect US plans for an early pullout by September next year. |
