(about 1 hour later)
The speaker of Iraq’s parliament has said parliament’s term will end on Saturday unless lawmakers vote to extend it until after a recount of May’s election votes is complete. Salim al-Jabouri also said in a news conference on Thursday that a manual recount of votes in the country’s national election last month will begin next week. The outgoing parliament this month passed a law mandating a nationwide manual recount of votes. However, the panel of judges now in charge of the recount said it would only be conducted for problematic ballots, Reuters reported.
