Iraq's Parliament session, which was scheduled to restart tomorrow, has been postponed till August 12.
Parliament was convened last Tuesday but adjourned till tomorrow due to a lack of consensus among its members.

According to the Iraq constitution, Shias have to agree on the prime ministerial nominee, Sunnis nominate the Speaker and Kurds nominate the President.
But Kurds and Sunnis have refused to name their candidates till Shias name the PM candidate.
