Iraq Vote in Limbo with Veto of Election Law
Thursday, November 19, 2009 :Plans for Iraq to hold elections in January are up in the air after Iraq's vice president vetoed part of an election law over the allocation of seats to Iraqis displaced by the US invasion and occupation. Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, who is Sunni, said he objected to Article One of the election law approved by parliament this month because it did not give a voice to Iraqis abroad. We speak to Iraqi political analyst Raed Jarrar.
