Iraqi Presidency Office issued a statement regarding the provincial elections law which was passed yesterday in the absence of Kurdish blocs and several other Iraqi lawmakers.
The statement explained that as soon as President Mam Jalal took his responsibility, he intensified all his efforts in a bid to establish the national unity based on the principles of consensus and respect for all the key components of Iraqi community.
Meanwhile, it said that the provincial election law was passed without the willingness of the second component which is Kurd. “This conduct is at odds with the national accordance and put the constitution into risk, consequently it may have negative impacts on what we have done and what we hope for,” the statement said.
The statement called on the Iraqi parliament to revise the law and correct such constitutional mistake.
“President cannot accept the law voted for by 127 lawmakers which do not constitute half of the parliament members. He believes that Presidency Council does not overlook it pursuant to the constitution and the political process which was guided by the principle of consensus,” the statement added.
