Uncertainty prevails in Iraq as rival parties hold talks over appointing a new government amid on-going protests
Iraqi security forces are seen during the ongoing anti-government protests, in Baghdad, Iraq. December 1, 2019.
Parliament on Sunday formally tasked President Barham Saleh with naming a new candidate, as prescribed by the constitution. The candidate would also have to be acceptable to Iraq's two main allies, arch-rivals Washington and Tehran. They insist they want "none of the same faces" that have dominated Iraq's political scene for years, a demand that has complicated the search for a new premier.
"This process will take no less than six months, in order to prepare for new elections according to a new electoral commission," the official said.
