Is he still Prime Minister?

Articles said on 1 December (^[1]^[2]) that Mahdi would resign, not that he has resigned. I am confused because it seems that he has handed in his resignation, but that he is still in office, the article Prime Minister of Iraq also says he is still in office. Is this a case of him actually having resigned and Iraq not having a prime minister at the moment, or editors preemptively adding in his resignation?

I believe editors are, in good faith, adding Mr. Mahdi's resignation: he is still the caretaker Prime Minister, I believe. — Javert2113 (Siarad.|¤) 21:03, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
