Muhammad Mahdi Kubba

Muhammad Mahdi Kubba (Arabic: محمد مهدي كبة) (1900–1984) was an Iraqi politician and Vice President.

[2] In the wake of the 14 July Revolution, the new Iraqi Republic was headed by a Revolutionary Council.

At its head was a three-man sovereignty council, composed of members of Iraq’s three main communal/ethnic groups.

[4] Following the failed 1959 Mosul uprising by Arab nationalists, Iraqi Prime Minister Abd al-Karim Qasim grew increasingly dependent on the Iraqi Communist Party, whose distrust of Arab nationalists seemed vindicated to Qasim by the revolt.

[5] As a result, the last time Kubba attended a meeting of the Sovereignty Council was in February 1959, although no resignation was ever made public.
