Parliament Votes To Remove Kirkuk Governor.
Iraq's parliament has voted to remove the governor of Kurdish-controlled Kirkuk from office, according to legislators present at the vote.
Thursday's decision to remove Najm Eddine Karim followed parliamentarians' rejection of Kurdish plans to hold an independence referendum on Tuesday.
Haider al-Abadi, Iraq's prime minister, requested the removal ofKarim as leader of the oil-rich province, said Hussein al-Maliki, member of parliament.
All Kurdish legislators boycotted Thursday's session, while Arab parliamentarians voted in favour of Karim's deposition, he said.
