Shafaq News/ On Sunday, an Iraqi administrative court revoked the Dhi Qar Provincial Council’s decision to remove Governor Murtada Al-Ibrahimi, ordering his immediate reinstatement.
Presiding Judge Othman Salman Al-Aboudi ruled that the council’s action lacked legal grounds, deeming the dismissal “unlawful” and upholding Al-Ibrahimi’s appeal.
The court also mandated the council to cover legal fees and attorney costs.
On January 14, 2025, the council had voted to remove Al-Ibrahimi after a questioning session over alleged financial and administrative violations.
