Al-Baldawi considered that there are “parties that promote such rumors”, and are trying to “shuffle the cards or try to provoke some parties or promote a specific personality.”
A member of the State of Law coalition, Aref Al-Hamami, denied to the “Al-Maaloma” website on Wednesday evening, the nomination of the coordination framework for any name for the position of the Prime Minister so far, noting that the names in circulation have not been officially nominated.
According to previous statements by leaders in the “Coordination Framework”, the “Coordination Framework” forces set criteria for choosing a prime minister to run the country in the next stage, the most important of which is that he is acceptable to the religious authority in Najaf and is not covered by the Accountability and Justice Law and who is not accused or convicted of corruption cases.
The leaders of the “coordinating framework” intend to hold wide discussions on a group of candidate names to agree on a personality that meets the requirements, to end the ongoing political crisis since the last parliamentary elections were held on October 10, 2021.
Median Judgment Equation
In this context, former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said through his Twitter account, “The political division, and the political, economic and sovereign challenges, require a moderate governance equation that defuses crises and is widely accepted, and a capable and efficient national government for a specific stage to reform the economy, provide services and provide job opportunities.” .
Al-Abadi added, “Otherwise, we are not with it and we will not be part of it, because it will complicate the crisis and lead us to the unknown.”
The writer Mithaq Saleh said, via his Twitter account, that “the coordinating framework must know that the next government is their government, and they bear all responsibility for its failure and success, so they must impose their candidate and the program of their government without paying attention to courtesies.” Saleh added, that the framework “should not be led by the myth of a prime minister who does not provoke opponents, because the opponent is provoked even if you nominate an angel.”
For his part, politician Qusai Mahbouba wrote, on his Twitter account, that “Al-Maliki’s insistence on running for the position of prime minister, despite my conviction that this matter is impossible to achieve, represents the biggest gift that the framework offers to the leader of the Sadrist bloc, Muqtada al-Sadr, and also represents the biggest motive for the liberal forces to regroup themselves.” and its association with political parties. Mahbouba added, “In politics, half of the victories are gifts from your opponents.”
Political researcher Shaho Al-Qara Daghi commented, through his account on Twitter, saying, “In respected countries, when the official feels that he has made a mistake in some policies and harmed people, he either commits suicide, resigns or retreats quietly, and after the accumulation of mistakes, disasters and bad experiences, he returns again and tries to market himself as a savior.” . Qaradaghi asked, “How can someone who caused problems turn into solutions?”
For his part, political analyst Haitham al-Khazali says that al-Maliki will face strong competition with the rest of the candidates of the coordinating framework forces over the position, while noting that the Sunnis and Kurds will not have any problem, whether al-Maliki or others are named by the framework, provided that their interests are guaranteed.
For about 8 months, Iraq has been experiencing a political crisis due to sharp disagreements over the formation of the government between the “coordinating framework” and the Sadrist bloc, which won first place with 73 deputies out of 329, but withdrew from Parliament on June 12 after it was unable to form a government.

Deputy: Al-Sadr’s Withdrawal Held The Scene, And The Independents Are Divided Into Three Types[/Size]
Sumerian special 2022-07-07 | 14:39 Source: Alsumaria news 2,601 views The head of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, independent MP Muhammad Anouz, confirmed today, Thursday, the division of independents into three types, considering that the withdrawal of the Sadrist movement’s leader Muqtada al-Sadr from parliament complicated the political scene.
The head of the Legal Committee said in an interview with the publicly program broadcast by Alsumaria satellite channel, that “the independents must have new programs and different from the previous sessions, and there are two visions of the work of the independents within Parliament, which are either to go to the opposition or to go to power and ally with the political blocs.”
He added, “The independents were divided into three types, some of them aligned with the coordinating framework and some of them aligned with Sadrist Movement There are those who remain with the opposition,” noting that “the parliamentary system is essentially a partisan and political system, but the individual law gave an opportunity for independents to enter parliament and formulate an effective political representative system.”
Anouz explained, “presenting an independent candidate for the position of prime minister is an absolute impossibility,” noting that “independents may participate in the government, but none of them will be a candidate for the prime minister’s post.”
The head of the Parliamentary Legal Committee stressed that “political action is not like “cooking eggs”, but there must be a clear political program, and if the independent does not achieve a new program that meets the aspirations of those who gave him his vote, he will fail.”
He pointed out that “the political bazaar has been open since 2003 and has not been closed until now, and the independents are included in it, and the winner is the one who remained on his position and did not go to temptations,” noting that “the obstacle that stands in the way of forming a government is the lack of confidence between the political parties.”
Anouz pointed out that “Al-Sadr’s withdrawal from Parliament complicated the political scene a lot, and the situation became almost cloudy,” stressing that “there is no clear vision for the coordination framework regarding their candidate for the position of prime minister because there is more than one candidate for the position.”
The head of the Legal Committee stressed that “if the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, takes over as prime minister, al-Sadr will have a mixed, improper or inappropriate reaction and will be provocative because there are certain qualities that al-Sadr demands in the candidate.”
And he indicated that “a new election law must be legislated in line with the nature of the tasks undertaken by the concerned council and be responsible for the Iraqi legislation and its nature, and that the new electoral system should be based on partisan bases and be proportional between entitlement and votes.”
Anouz pointed out that “there are 120 laws that have been transferred to the current legal committee from previous sessions, and they will be discussed according to priority, and after the legislative holiday work will start on them in order.” LINK
