Al-Nuwwab Approves Local Administration Law
The House of Representatives approved the Local Administration Law after its amendment. The law abolished the election of provincial councils and replaced them with representative councils. It specified that the term of the municipal councils lasts for four years, starting from the date they assume their duties. The law also outlined the authority of the Council of Ministers to dissolve municipal councils, with a temporary committee appointed to manage the municipalities until new elections are held within one year of the dissolution. Additionally, it maintained the possibility of postponing elections for up to six months for public interest reasons, with temporary management of the municipalities during the postponement period. The law also includes provisions to address the issue of insufficient municipal council members to ensure continuous operation until elections are conducted.
