What Type Of Government Does Iraq Have ?
The government of Iraq describes the country as an Islamic, democratic, federal parliamentary republic. |
It consists of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. There are also many other independent commissions. There are governorates, regions and districts beside the federal government which have jurisdiction on many matters.
The only region, which has its own government and a type of semi-official militia, is Kurdistan.
Iraq is segregated into eighteen provinces, which are further divided into districts. Duhok, Arbil, Sulaymanih are the governorates in the Iraqi Kurdistan region.
Baath party ruled Iraq from 1968 until 2003. Saddam Hussein was the president of Iraq from 1979 to 2003.
It was on October 15, 2005 when more than 63 percent of Iraqis participated in the voting to cast their ballot to for or against the new Constitution. The voting was favorable for the new constitution. Nearly seventy-eight percent of the people voted in favor. The new constitution was supported by the Kurd and Shia communities, but the Arab Sunnis rejected it.
The country elected new government by conducting parliamentary elections throughout the nation. This was a big event for people, who were eligible to vote. It was the first free election that the country was witnessing after decades of dictatorship and rigged elections. The voting by the people was mainly done on the basis of ethnicity.
The violence which is going on in Iraq is due three main reasons. The religious extremists want an Islamic rule to be established with a caliph being incharge of the country; the Baath party members want to regain their seat of power and control; while the nationalists want to get rid of the US troops stationed in the country.
