Shafaq News/ Iraq's Administrative Court has overturned the dismissal of Omar al-Karawi as Chairman of the Diyala Provincial Council.
The court’s decision nullified the council’s March 24 session that had removed al-Karawi and appointed Nizar al-Lahibi as his replacement.
The ruling, signed by Court President Bashar Ahmad Mohammad, emphasized that the dismissal lacked legal basis and ordered the immediate reinstatement of al-Karawi.
Al-Karawi’s initial dismissal had been backed by 12 out of 15 council members following an interrogation session, drawing criticism over alleged political interference.
