Abdul Latif Rashid was elected President yesterday, winning 162 votes in the second round of elections, as he ran against Barham Salih whom he got 157 votes against in the first round, with Salih garnering 99 votes.

Iraqi President-elect Abdul Latif Rashid charged on Thursday Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani with forming a new government. Al-Sudani said he promises to present the cabinet formation as soon as possible and to lead a strong government capable of building the country and serving its people.

شكراً لله وشكراً لممثلي الشعب الذين منحوني ثقتهم بتكليفي لتشكيل الحكومة.
أَعِدُ العراقيين أنْ أكون عند حسن ظنهم بتقديم التشكيلة الوزارية بأقرب وقت، وأنْ تكون حكومةً قويةً وقادرةً على بناء البلد وخدمة المواطنين وحفظ الأمن والاستقرار وبناء علاقاتٍ دوليةٍ متوازنة.

Iraq held early legislative elections on October 10, 2021, after which Iraqi parties failed to reach an agreement on electing a new president of the republic and naming a new prime minister.

The Iraqi Coordination Framework's nomination of Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani was a spark that ignited tensions between the framework and the Sadrist movement. The latter's supporters staged a sit-in in front of Parliament for about a month, but the coordinating framework did not back down from its candidate and insisted on the formation of a government with full powers while Al-Sadr demanded the dissolution of Parliament and early elections.
