Legal expert Ali Al-Tamimi says he believed political parties
cannot re-assign Adil Abd al-Mahdi for the prime minister post, as the Iraqi Constitution
does not allow a resigned prime minister to form a government again.
He added that the caretaker government’s term will end and
that leading the country will be the task of President Barham Salih, according
to the constitution.
Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of Article 76 of the Constitution confirm
that in the event of the government’s resignation, the President of the
Republic shall assign another person to form the government.
