Iraqi court rejects to extend parliament term

<p style="text-align:left">Iraqi Federal Supreme court on Monday, June 25, rejected to extend the Iraqi parliament&amp;rsquo;s term, saying it is &amp;ldquo;illegal and unconstitutional&amp;rdquo;.

The federal court issued a statement saying any decisions from parliament after 45 days of holding election will have no constitutional support, NRT reported.
The Iraqi parliament finished first and second readings of the fourth amendment to the parliamentary election law on Friday and Sunday, but postponed voting on the law to Thursday.
It will continue its efforts until the final results of the May parliamentary election are accepted, according to the amendment of the law.
A third amendment to the elections law was approved on on June 6, which ordered a nationwide manual recount of votes in the parliamentary election because of widespread reports of fraud.
The electronic count of the votes from all polling stations, as well as votes cast by the diaspora and internally displaced people were annulled by the legislation.
Iraqi Federal Supreme Court has upheld the amended law. The federal court also ruled that the cancellation of diasporas, displaced and Kurdish security forces&rsquo; votes was unconstitutional.
The amendment to the election law came amid widespread reports of vote rigging and after Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said that there had been &ldquo;dangerous&rdquo; violations.
