(Baghdad: Al Furat News) The House of Representatives is holding an evening session on Monday to elect a new president for the next four years, amid unprecedented differences between the Kurdish blocs, as the deputies will have to choose between seven Kurdish candidates out of 24 candidates of different nationalities.
There is a big disagreement over the name of the candidate who will be elected, where the Kurdish blocs did not agree for the first time in 15 years - one candidate, and the political blocs in Baghdad has not yet decided on the issue of voting on any of the seven candidates.
The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan nominated Barham Saleh for the Presidency of the Republic, and believes that the position of his share according to the established norms and rules in previous times, while pushing the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Fouad Hussein, a rival candidate, where he believes it is time to change this equation, causing a sharp difference between the two Kurdish parties Key players in the Kurdistan region.
The repercussions of the referendum on the secession of the region from Iraq, led by the party led by Massoud Barzani, a year ago, which led to serious consequences for the region, and the state of division known by the National Union since the death of late leader Jalal Talabani in 2017 and the weakness of opposition parties; factors led to fragmentation of the situation Kurdish and disagreement on one candidate.
The failure to resolve the Kurds and agree on a unified candidate, that Baghdad has become the final say in naming the President of the Republic, and also means more weakness and dispersal of the Kurdish voice between the two blocs of rival, seeking to win and form the largest parliamentary bloc.
The legal expert Tariq Harb ruled out the election of the President of the Republic in the first round.
"It will not be possible to win in the first round of parliamentary elections and voting because it is difficult for any candidate to get the votes of 220 deputies, or two-thirds of the votes of the 329 votes," he said in a statement received by the Euphrates News.
"The second round of voting and the parliamentary election between the top two candidates, the two who received the highest votes, are contested between them and is considered a winner and the president of the republic who won the majority of the votes and the lowest votes is considered a loser."
He explained war, "In the second round does not require a majority and a specific majority does not require the majority of the constitutional majority, but the majority of the majority of the votes if we assume that the number of deputies present 165 deputies, ie, the number to achieve the quorum and we imposed that one hundred of the present members abstained from voting, To 33 votes enough to declare the president of the Republic of those who got this number because the other candidate can not get this number of votes, but gets less than that number.

US Reason for Closing Consulate in Basra ‘Unjustifiable’
Monday, October 01, 2018
Iran dismissed as "unjustifiable" claims by the United States for shutting down its consulate in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, saying the move is part of a blame game played by Washington.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns any attack on diplomats or diplomatic missions," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi said on Saturday, Press TV reported.
He said Iran regards the “ludicrous justification” provided by Washington for the closure of the US Consulate in Basra, which was carried out after days and weeks of “propaganda, speculation and baseless accusations” against Iran and Iraqi forces, as a “suspicious move and a blame game”.
The US State Department announced its decision to close and evacuate its consulate in Basra over what it called security risks after violent incidents near the mission.
State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on Friday US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had placed the US Consulate in Basra on “ordered departure,” temporarily relocating the US diplomatic personnel in the Arab country.
Pompeo said the decision had been made to protect American diplomats against the violence, which he blamed on Iran. He claimed Iran was trying to use the potential risk to US staff there as a form of leverage on the administration of US President Donald Trump and his anti-Iran policies.
In reaction to the move, Qasemi said the US made such claims despite numerous “overt and covert indications” of foreign agents’ involvement in a “brutal” attack on Iran's Consulate in Basra.
>Adventurist Plot
However, it is crystal clear that US officials’ “childish justifications” are part of the country’s adventurism and plot to present Iraq as an insecure country to exert pressure on the Arab country's government, the Iranian spokesperson said.
Protests broke out in Basra early this month over alleged corruption and government neglect and later turned into deadly violence in the oil-rich city.
In the course of protests, the Iranian Consulate in Basra was stormed, with attackers setting the building ablaze in their raid, causing serious financial damage.
Later, a number of rockets were also fired at the American Consulate, which is located near the city’s airport.
>Infamous Terror Sponsor
In a separate statement, Qasemi rejected recent unfounded and hackneyed allegations made by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir against Tehran, saying Riyadh is undoubtedly the most infamous sponsor of terrorism in the world.
"The root cause of terrorism that has engulfed the entire world, particularly the Middle East, is nowhere but in Saudi Arabia and the radical thoughts and ideologies that are promoted, spread and financed by this regime,” Qasemi said.
Addressing the 73rd annual session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Friday, Jubeir once again repeated his anti-Iran rhetoric. He claimed that Tehran was continuing its “terrorist activities and hostile behavior” and contended that peace and stability in the Middle East requires “deterring Iran’s expansionist and subversive policies.”

Iraq Producing Gas From Nasiriya Oilfield
Monday, October 01, 2018
Iraq has begun producing gas from the Nasiriya oilfield in the south of the country at a rate of 1.4 million cubic meters a day, Oil Minister Jabbar al-Luaibi said in a statement on Saturday.
The production is part of an ambitious plan announced by his ministry in December to more than double its oil production at the oilfield from 90,000 barrels per day to 200,000 bpd, without the help of international investors, Reuters reported.
Development plans announced at the time included using 1.4 million cubic meters of gas produced as a by-product of oil production to supply power stations in the province.
Iraq has continued to flare some of the gas extracted alongside crude oil at its fields because it lacks the facilities to process it into fuel. Iraq has said it hopes to end gas flaring by 2021, which costs the government nearly $2.5 billion in lost revenue each year, according to the World Bank.
The country also plans to have its newly restarted Qayara oil field in the north produce 60,000 bpd by the end of the year, targeting to gradually ramp up the current 30,000 bpd production,
S&P Global Platts quoted the Iraqi oil ministry as saying.
The Qayara oil field was shut-in for years until last year.
Since December last year Iraq has been seeking foreign investments in major projects that would help revive its economy.
