Iraq Parliament Session Postponed Till August 12
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.
Iraq Prime Minister Nuri al Maliki has the support of 100 of the 380 Parliamentarians, but he needs the support of other parties to form the government.
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.
Maliki, who has faced demands for his resignation over the current crisis, is reportedly keen on a third term.
