BAGHDAD (AFP) Iraq's parliament announced Tuesday the reopening of registration for presidential candidates, a day after it called off a session to vote in a new head of state.
One of the two frontrunners, former longtime foreign minister Hoshyar Zebari, was "temporarily" suspended by a court, citing years-old corruption accusations after a complaint was filed against him.
His eligibility for the post is being reviewed, with his party announcing it is sticking with his candidacy and that a verdict is expected within days.
