The leader of the Sadrist movement in Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr, called on his supporters and segments of society and what he described as national representatives to file a lawsuit before the Federal Court asking the Speaker of Parliament to dissolve him.

He asked the court to notify the President of the Republic of the need to set a date for holding new elections.

Al-Sadr had said that dissolving the parliament does not require a session for its approval, and called on the Iraqi judiciary to intervene and dissolve parliament within a period not exceeding the end of next week, and assigning the President of the Republic to set a date for early and restricted elections, on conditions he said he would announce later.

Al-Sadr stressed that the sit-ins will continue, and the protesters will have another position if the judiciary fails the people again, he said.

In this context, Saleh Muhammad al-Iraqi, who is close to the leader of the Sadrist movement, called on the Federal Court to intervene and call on the presidents, ministers and parliament to exercise their legal and constitutional powers in order to dissolve parliament and hold new elections.

And Al-Iraqi published in a tweet on Twitter, the content of a lawsuit that the followers of the Sadrist movement and segments of Iraqi society demanded to adopt and submit it to the Federal Court.

The lawsuit demands the dissolution of Parliament because it has become a necessary and legal requirement because Parliament - what he called Saleh al-Iraqi - committed a constitutional violation by not electing the President of the Republic within 30 days from the date of the first session of Parliament about 8 months ago.

The lawsuit also included the argument that Parliament had become unable to perform its constitutional tasks and its competencies in completing the formation of the executive authority in its two branches, the Republic and the Prime Minister.

For his part, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi said that there is no solution and no choice for the Iraqi political forces but to resort to dialogue to solve the political crisis that the country is currently going through.

Al-Kazemi added that the political blocs must bear their responsibility to resolve the issue of the political blockage for the sake of Iraq's interest and its future.


A call to form a government and demonstrate

On the other hand, the coordination framework in Iraq called for respecting the judicial and legislative authority and rejecting any transgression or obstruction of its constitutional functions.

The coordinating framework also called on the political forces to preserve the gains and form a government capable of overcoming challenges, and called on the masses who believe in the constitution to stand with the formation of the government and to defend democracy.

In this context, the so-called Organizing Committee for Demonstrations to Defend the State of the Coordination Framework called in a statement to the followers of the framework to demonstrate Friday to defend legitimacy in demonstrations entitled "The people protect the state."

In its statement, the committee said that the call comes from the belief in the need to stand with the legal and constitutional steps to defend the state's judicial and legislative institutions and to expedite the formation of a national service government with full powers that works to confront crises and challenges, according to the statement.

The committee indicated that the demonstration will be on the fences of the Green Zone, with an emphasis on preventing any transgression of civilized manifestations and full cooperation with the security forces charged with protecting the demonstrations.


It should be noted that on July 30, hundreds of Sadrist supporters stormed the parliament building in the Green Zone.

The Sadrist movement seeks, through a sit-in inside the Green Zone, to achieve demands announced by al-Sadr in a televised speech on August 3, which were summed up in a call to dissolve parliament and go towards early elections.

In order for the movement to achieve its goals, its supporters staged a sit-in in the parliament building for 8 days and continued their sit-in in its surroundings. The movement insists on preventing the passage of the “coordinating framework” coalition government, which is still clinging to its only candidate, Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, to form a new government.

This comes 10 months after the last legislative elections and the failure to form a new government, as Parliament failed to hold a session to elect a new president, as well as to choose a prime minister.
