BAGHDAD: Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki announced on Monday on state television he intended to file a complaint against President Fuad Masum for violating the constitution.
"Today I will file a formal complaint to the federal court against the president," he said, in a surprise address at midnight (2100 GMT on Sunday).
Maliki, who has been under huge pressure to give up his bid for a third term, alleged that newly-elected Masum had violated the constitution twice, including by failing to task a prime minister-designate with forming a new government.
