Iraq’s Sadr decides to withdraw from the political process

BAGHDAD: Iraqi Shiite cleric Moqtada Al-Sadr said on Wednesday that he decided to withdraw from the political process so as not to be involved with “corrupt” politicians, the state news agency reported.
Sadr’s announcement comes after he asked lawmakers from his Sadrist bloc to resign from the parliament, amid a prolonged stalemate over forming a government.
