5th Speaker of the Council of Representatives of Iraq
Mohammed Rikan Hadid al-Halbousi (Arabic: محمد ريكان حديد الحلبوسي; born 4 January 1981[1]) is an Iraqi politician who served as Speaker of the Council of Representatives of Iraq from 15 September 2018 to 14 November 2023. Al Halbousi submitted his resignation from this role on 26 September 2022 due to the political tension at the time. This resignation was however rejected by the parliament on 28 September 2022 and he continued to serve in this position until 14 November 2023, when the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq ordered Halbousi's dismissal from parliament along with fellow legislator Laith al-Dulaimi, who had sued Halbousi claiming that he had forged Dulaimi's signature on a resignation letter.[2] He was previously the governor of Al Anbar Governorate since 29 August 2017. He is the leader of the Progress Party.
