Iraq court given time to review candidates, The New York Times (2010)
Iraqi leaders gave the appeals court time to review the ban on hundreds of candidates accused of having ties with the Baath Party. Prime Minister Al-Maliki indicated that he will accept the jurisdiction of the court which last week postponed the disqualification of the candidates until after the vote. The fate of some prominent candidates remains unresolved though, which could still worsen the situation. The campaign has been delayed in the meantime, and several protests have taken place.
