Hashemi tells Biden he received no solutions for election bill

The Iraqi Vice President told his U.S. counterpart over the phone on Monday that he has not yet recognized tangible solutions with regards to the problems related to the election law.

Al-Hashemi promised to be flexible in dealing with proposals that “restore rights to its people,” while Biden expressed his wishes that a just, consensus solution for the problems would be achieved as soon as possible.

“Biden stressed that the U.S. does not intend to intervene in Iraq’s local issues,” said a release issued by al-Hashemi’s office and received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

For his part, al-Hashemi described the current bill as “ill,” and that “time is passing without seeing a tangible treatment.”

Iraqi legislators approved a law regarding the election earlier this month that was vetoed by Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi.

An amended version of the law is currently before Iraq’s three-member Presidential Board, composed of President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, and vice presidents Hashemi, a Sunni, and Adel Abdel Mehdi, a Shiite.
Only one of them needs to veto the bill for it to be sent back to Parliament.

The United States has put pressure on Iraqi politicians to avoid a delay as Washington seeks to ensure that the pullout of thousands of troops stationed in the country go ahead on schedule.

Iraq’s constitution requires that the poll be held by January 31.
