Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi has resigned and Iraq’s parliament has approved about the resignation of the Prime Minister, according to BBC.
It is unclear who will take over from Mr Abdul Mahdi. The parliament speaker said President Barham Saleh would be asked to name a new prime minister.
The decision by parliament to approve Mr Abdul Mahdi’s resignation was made in an emergency session called on Sunday.
Existing laws in Iraq do not clearly set out a way for members of parliament to deal with a prime minister’s resignation, but lawmakers on Sunday acted on the legal opinion of the supreme court, according to the Associated Press news agency.
