Thousands of protesters celebrated and waved flags outside the parliament building in Baghdad's Green Zone, Saturday, after storming the premises.
Supporters of Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr have been protesting against alleged government corruption for months outside the parliament.
They broke into the Green Zone, a heavily fortified area which hosts government buildings and a number of foreign embassies, after MPs once again failed to approve a new government.
The government has reportedly convened a state of emergency.
