Shafaq News/ The Iraqi Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) named the new deputy who replaced the resigned, Laith al-Dulaimi.

In a statement, IHEC informed the parliament speaker, Mohamed Al-Halboosi, that MP Al-Dulaimi is replaced by Ahmed Al-Mashhadani, a member of the Al-Jamaheer Al-Wataniya Party, headed by Ahmed Abdullah al-Jubouri (Abu Mazen.)

Iraq's parliament speaker on Sunday terminated the membership of lawmaker Laith al-Dulaimi, and the latter urged his colleagues to stand up to "dictatorship" in the assembly.

An official correspondence purportedly stamped by al-Halboosi's seal said that al-Dulaimi was to be removed from legislature per a resignation letter he submitted earlier.

The former member of the Takaddom party, led by al-Halboosi himself, denounced his removal as "illegal" and "despotic."

Al-Dulaimi said in a statement that he was astonished by the decision and expected his colleagues in the al-Siyada Coalition, a merger of the Sunni leading blocs (Takaddom and Azm), and other blocs in the Iraqi parliament, to take a deterrent stance against "dictatorship," "unilateralism," and "abuse of authority."

On April 22, 2022, al-Halboosi removed al-Dulaimi from the party for "his non-adherence to the party's directions and violations of the regulations of the party's internal code."
