Naseer al-Chaderchi, the Iraqi politician who served on the country's Interim Governing Council after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, died on September 12, 2026. He was 90. Al-Chaderchi led the National Democratic Party, a liberal political organization with roots stretching back to Iraq's mid-century democratic movement.
He was a Sunni Muslim and a resident of Baghdad, where he worked across several trades as a lawyer, businessman and farm owner. His death closes a political line that ran through nearly a century of Iraqi public life.
