Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi refuted accusations by Iraqi parties and politicians about postponing the date of the parliamentary elections and said he was committed to the constitution.

This came in an exclusive interview with “Al Arabiya” in a program with Turki al-Dakhil, which will be broadcast on the satellite channel this evening.

Abadi said during the interview that the recent disagreements between the Dawa party were due to Nuri al-Maliki’s refusal to run Abadi elections on behalf of the Dawa Party, ending with the abolition of the party’s name from the list of parties participating in the elections.
