Who knows, but over the last few days we've been told that things are a lot more positive, that more of the previously hostile factions are on board and that it's expected to pass.
And to cause the session to be cancelled through lack of quorum they would need 165 people to boycott it, not "more than 10" so the session should at least take place.
IF, and that's a humongous IF, you were to take it at face value that those who have done an about turn and voiced support actually voted in favour then it should go through.
But who knows with these people.
This time tomorrow it'll either have been approved or it won't.
But one thing we do know is that it's holding up the entire 2025 budget.
All we can do is wait. |
Habs:-
Do you reckon the will walk?
Quorom not achieved?
"IF" they vote margin is going to be slim i reckon.... |
 The head of the Tasmeen bloc MP Amer Al-Fayez said - "despite the objection of a number of representatives, especially the Central and Southern Representatives Front, which includes more than ten representatives....the amendment paragraph will be passed during tomorrow’s session, Sunday.”
The leftist Jawad Al-Yassari said - "there will certainly be a parliamentary boycott to thwart the session and its passage, and this session will not sit due to deep disagreements."
To cause the session to be scrubbed through lack of quorum would require 165 people to boycott the session.
Quorum - "the minimum number of members of an assembly or society that must be present at any of its meetings to make the proceedings of that meeting valid."
It sounds to me like the session will go ahead, there's a big difference between "more than 10" and 165.
Iraqi Council of Representitives Rules of Procedure.
Article 23.
A quorum is achieved with absolute majority of its members, Decisions by simple majority unless constitution states that other percentage needed. In case of tie, the Speaker casts deciding vote.
Article 24.
The Session shall not be opened unless the quorum stated in Article (23) of this Rules of Procedure is achieved. If there is no quorum the Speaker shall postpone the session for 30 minutes. If the quorum not completed the Speaker shall adjourn the session, and shall announce another date for the next meeting.
Article 25.
A quorum is necessary in case of taking decisions but it is not necessary for a meeting to be correct. |
Lets just wait for Sunday - until anything really happens.....
We are all supper invested here..
We just wait, hope, see...
Playing that with a l of vodka and a Thatchers Haze and my life is good... |
If it doesn't get through, the KRG will go their own way. |
At least no one would be left disappointed tomorrow if they again boycott the vote. |
If this gets over the line then happy days . If not, share price will be on sale. This gets resolved one way or the other. |
Maybe some substance in the boycott story, maybe he's trying to put people off attending by declaring it a wash, maybe he's blowing hot air, find out tomorrow I guess. |

Hopefully the vote is positive but if it isn't then the KRG should shift their attention to the IOCs and Turkey with the intention of finalising a deal by September which might end up being their only realistic option.
This would sink BPs Kirkuk plans if they can't negotiate a deal with the KRG and Turkey. |
Deramper alert. |
There we go. John now posting about another boycott tomorrow. Fines don't mean anything in Iraq and why KRG were stupid to stop the ITP so hastily. |

The Shia bloc are hard core Kurd/sunni haters. Can't see them doing anything to help them, unless they've been threatened with a financial penalty/withdrawal of foreign aid payments.
If Trump's team have got involved then it will pass. |
All looking promising. Hopefully no last minute amendments to derail the vote. I give it a 90 percent chance of success for tomorrow. Good luck all LTHs |
Watch from 12:20 inLooks like it's all coming together..https://x.com/111notout1/status/1885584441214460096?s=61&t=EEAJRmerpfLiAmForyb8Dw |
"Asharq Al-Awsat received a copy of a study, completed by the ruling Coordination Framework alliance, that showed that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani will emerge with a powerful coalition that makes up a third of Shiite seats in parliament."
Important stuff, al-Ameri, al-Maliki and other Iranian leaning factions have been trying to nobble Sudani and get rid of him because he's popular with the electorate and is more interested in creating jobs building infrastructure building ties with the west and Iraq's neighbours than he is in trying to stuff the Kurds and make war with Israel.
They want jobs peace and food on the table, they can't eat bombs and bullets.
He's trying to drag Iraq away from Iran and the public and increasing numbers of Shia can see that Iran is never going to be anything other than the loser.
Good. |
Sorry Kevs article mentions Shiite block not central and southern. |
Nice one CG.
Was wondering how many seats they hold when Kev posted the article yesterday.

Tasmin Alliance (9 seats) voting favour and 'that there is a trend among the majority of political forces to pass the amendment of the federal budget'.
"Objections by the representatives of the Central and Southern Front, which includes more than ten representatives and a number of other members of the Council, will not have a significant impact on the passage of the amendment". |
Genel was up a day before dropping 20% on arbitration loss. I wouldn't read anything in the Genel's movement, tbh |
Am i right in thinking that we have now recovered the pre pipe closure price and in the meanwhile have enjoyed dividends etc so bring on tomorrow. It will be interesting to say the least but we need APIKUR to ensure a healthy bottom line from a new arrangement. Patience so far has been rewarded but we still need backpay and damages. |
