Hundreds of protesters have breached a high-security zone in Baghdad and broken into Iraq’s parliament building.
The supporters of cleric Muqtada al-Sadr oppose the nomination of a rival candidate for prime minister.
Mr Sadr’s political alliance won the most seats in last October’s general election, but it is not in power due to political deadlock following the vote.
Police reportedly fired tear gas and water cannons at the protesters and Iraq’s current prime minister, Mustafa al-Kadhimi, called on crowds to leave the building.
