Iranian lawmaker Ali Iranpour said on Wednesday that the motion, signed by 100 parliamentarians, has been presented to the Majlis (parliament) Presiding Board.
Lawmakers reportedly plan to question Ahmadinejad with regard to the country’s economic issues and the recent fluctuations in the foreign exchange market.
However, spokesman of the Majlis Presiding Board, Abdolreza Mesri, said that the motion has not been presented to the board, adding that it might have been submitted after the end of the open session.
The first motion to question Ahmadinejad was submitted to the Majlis Presiding Board on June 27, 2011, and was signed by 100 Iranian lawmakers. However, it lost quorum after a number of lawmakers withdrew their signatures.
In December 2011, Majlis revived the motion and summoned Ahmadinejad for questioning.
On March 14, 2012, the Iranian president attended the Majlis session to respond to questions from lawmakers on a range of different issues.
According to Article 88 of the country’s Constitution, the president must appear before Majlis within a month of being summoned, unless legislators decide to withdraw their bid to question him.
