Najaf Provincial Council contested the number of seats set by the Independent High Electoral Commission in the new Parliament estimated at 12 seats.
The provincial council deems the number of seats unsuitable for the status of the province and called to be allocated 14 instead of 12 seats, Head of Najaf Provincial Council Fayed Al Shumari told Alsumaria News.
The exact number of residents in Najaf is 1.4 million calling to hold a general census, he said.
The council will proceed legally to contest the present number of seats allocated for Najaf, Al Shumari added.
