The Federal Court suspended parliament sessions following complaints submitted by Shiite Coordination Framework parliament members against the circumstances in which the parliament presidency members were elected. 

On Wednesday, the Iraqi Federal Court is expected to issue a decision to lift this suspension.

"The Iraqi parliament will hold its second session on Feb. 8 to elect the next president of Iraq," Dakhil revealed.
