Article “Iraq elects Kurdish politician Nizar Amidi as president amid war fallout” Quote “According to the Iraqi constitution, the president has 15 days to task the nominee of the largest parliamentary bloc with forming a government and assuming the position of prime minister. The dominant bloc, the Shiite Coordination Framework, a coalition of Iran-allied parties, announced in January that it would nominate former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, despite opposition from Washington. The bloc will now have to decide whether to proceed with the nomination of al-Maliki or select another candidate.” :Data Steward
