    INA - BAGHDAD Iraqi Parliament was set to hold a special session to select the new president of the republic today. The session was meant to name the president yesterday, yet it was postponed for lack of quorum. The last day within the constitutional allowance allotted to choose President. Twenty-four candidates for presidency met the conditions that came at a time when the Kurds did not agree on a single candidate while disagreements are the most prominent reason.       Translated by: Nadia al-Mukhtar Edited by: Shahad J Hassan
