In a historic session, the Iraqi Council of Representatives voted in favor of Nizar Amedi to be the country's sixth president since 2003. The election came after grueling negotiations between political blocs, with Amedi securing a comfortable majority that enabled him to assume his duties immediately, amidst hopes that this selection will contribute to resolving the months-long government formation crisis.
