BAGHDAD, Ramadan 26, 1435, Jul 23, 2014, SPA -- Iraq's parliament convened to vote for a new president on Wednesday, AP reported. Iraqi lawmakers have struggled to agree on a new president and prime minister since April elections -- in which Maliki's bloc won the most seats. With President Jalal Talabani's term set to expire, the vote for his successor is part of broader negotiations over forming a new government. At least 95 candidates are in the running, the lawmaker Adel Shershab told state television on Wednesday. Talabani, who suffered a stroke in late 2012, returned to the country on Saturday after more than 18 months abroad for medical treatment. --SPA 14:23 LOCAL TIME 11:23 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
