Beirut, June 1 (AKnews) - The outlawed Baath party in Iraq has said that it plans to run in elections after a period of "genuine reconciliation" following the planned U.S. troop withdrawal at the end of this year.
baathists
The constitution prohibits the participation of the party in the political process and bans high level Baathists from government and official positions.
Spokesperson for the Baath Party Khudair al-Murshidi, speaking in exile in Syria, said: "We will not participate in the political process as long as there is an American occupation."
"We must abolish all laws and decisions issued in the presence of the occupation including the de-Baathification and disbanding of the army, to achieve reconciliation and participation in the political system."
He said that the party will hold back from engagement in the political process until all U.S. boots are off Iraqi soil, as the re-emergence of Baathist could be used as an excuse for an extension of the deadline for withdrawal.
Leaders of parties lead by Shias – who were persecuted during Saddam's rule – have warned recently that Baath loyalists may attempt to return to power after the U.S. pull out.
On Friday Ali al-Lami, the head of the committee charged with ridding the halls of power of Saddam's supporters, was assassinated.
The de-Baathification of Iraq was relaxed in 2008 with the passing of the law of "accountability and justice". This allowed people who had been among the lower ranks of the party to once again take office.
