Badir al-Fahl
This governor name is outdated. Salah al-Din’s official governor is Haitham al-Zahwan, not Badr/Badir al-Fahl.
Full reasoning
The article’s infobox lists “Badir al-Fahl” as the governor, but Salah al-Din’s own official website now repeatedly identifies Haitham al-Zahwan as the governor.
Recent posts on the governorate’s website say, for example, “Governor of Salah al-Din Mr. Haitham al-Zahwan” and describe his official meetings and directives in that capacity. Independent reporting also states that Haitham al-Zahwan was elected governor on February 19, 2026, after former governor Badr al-Fahl left the post to become a member of parliament.
So this field is not current: the governor is no longer Badr/Badir al-Fahl.

- Taqadum candidate elected as Salahaddin governor amid KDP boycott
Newly elected governor of Salahaddin province Haitham Mahmoud al-Zahwan ... The Salahaddin governorship has been vacant since November when former governor, Badr al-Fahl, was sworn in as a member of Iraq’s parliament.
Ammar Jabr al-Jubouri
This listed governor is incorrect. Salah al-Din’s official governor is Haitham al-Zahwan.
Full reasoning
In the Provincial government section, the page names Ammar Jabr al-Jubouri as governor. Current official sources do not support that.
Salah al-Din’s official governorate website repeatedly identifies Haitham al-Zahwan as the sitting governor in 2026. Separate reporting on the 2026 leadership change says Haitham al-Zahwan was elected governor on February 19, 2026, replacing former governor Badr al-Fahl after al-Fahl became an MP.
That means the officeholder listed here is outdated/incorrect for the current provincial government.

Ahmed Abdel-Jabbar al-Karim
This council chairman listing is outdated. Salah al-Din’s provincial council chairman is Adel al-Sumaidaie.
Full reasoning
The page lists Ahmed Abdel-Jabbar al-Karim as Provincial Council Chairman, but current reporting and the governorate’s official website identify Adel al-Sumaidaie as the chairman of the Salah al-Din Provincial Council.
On the official governorate website, recent coverage of meetings in 2026 refers to “the Chairman of the Salah al-Din Provincial Council, engineer Adel al-Sumaidaie.” Earlier reporting on the formation of the provincial council also states that Adel Abdul Salam al-Sumaidai was elected as the council’s head.
So this named officeholder is not the current provincial council chairman.

- Salah al-Din council elects Al-Sumaidai as head and Al-Juburi as governor
Adel Abdul Salam Al-Sumaidai has been elected as the head of the council, marking a new chapter in Salahaddin’s administrative leadership.
Tarmiyah
Tarmiyah does not belong in this governorate list. Al-Tarmiyah is in Baghdad Governorate, not Saladin Governorate.
Full reasoning
The article includes Tarmiyah in the list of towns and cities of Saladin Governorate. But administrative sources place Al-Tarmiyah in Baghdad Governorate, not Saladin.
A World Bank / REFAATO project document explicitly describes the site as “Al-Tarmiyah district, Baghdad Governorate, Iraq.” Separate country-guidance material on Baghdad also lists Tarmiya among the districts of Baghdad governorate.
Because Tarmiyah is administratively part of Baghdad Governorate, it should not be listed here as a town/city of Saladin Governorate.
