“The Iraqi parliament elected Kurdish politician Nizar Amedi as the country's new president on Saturday, following parliamentary elections in November.”
MISLEADING
The claim states that Nizar Amedi was elected president by the Iraqi parliament on a Saturday following November's elections. The provided Wikipedia evidence, however, specifies that an indirect election for the Iraqi president was held on April 11, 2026, and that Nizar Amidi was elected in the second round of voting. The evidence does not mention an election occurring on a Saturday following November's elections, making the timing and context of the claim inaccurate, although the name and election context are partially present in the evidence.
