The past period witnessed a political calm in Iraq due to the preoccupation of these parties with the fortieth anniversary, but the coordinating framework forces announced their intention to hold a session of the House of Representatives, in an effort to feel the pulse of Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadrist movement, who rejects any session.
negotiating delegation
In turn, an informed source about the nature of the political movement told “Sky News Arabia” that a delegation from various political forces, headed by Hadi al-Amiri, is preparing to visit al-Sadr.
– The delegation will include the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, and the head of the Sovereignty Alliance, Khamis Al-Khanjar, in addition to Al-Amiri.
– The new initiative will guarantee al-Sadr’s demands, namely the dissolution of parliament and early elections, with the possibility of forming a government with acceptable specifications, to manage those elections.
– Positive signs by the leaders of the Sadrist movement regarding this initiative, provided that all the demands called for by al-Sadr are implemented.
– Withdrawing the candidate, Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, who is on the table, if Al-Sadr stipulates that, with the nomination of a person who has the confidence of Al-Sadr before Al-Sadr, or the renewal of the current prime minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi.
– Al-Sadr realized the impossibility of implementing his project aimed at forming a national majority government this election cycle, so he believes in the need to try later, after the elections.
– The Sunni and Kurdish forces do not oppose any Shiite candidate who enjoys the consensus of the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement.
Frame persistence
Political circles do not expect al-Sadr to accept a government formed by Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, if he generally agrees to sign the coordination framework government, which makes the framework into another crisis, which he avoided during the last period, with all his might.
When the coordination leaders are asked about the possibility of replacing Al-Sudani, their answer is a categorical denial, and this is not mainly due to the stability of the position, but rather to the belief of the framework forces in the difficulty of agreeing on another candidate, within them, especially with the presence of heads aspiring towards the position, such as Haider Al-Abadi. , Qassem Al-Araji, and others.
On Friday, the coordinating framework reiterated its assertion that Muhammad Shi’a’s candidacy to head the new government would remain in place, stressing that it would not present any plan to replace Shi’a at the present time.
And the representative of the framework, Aref Al-Hamami, said in a press statement: “The order to form the new government headed by Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani was decided by agreement and consensus of all Iraqi political forces, and there is no retreat from this matter.”
He added, “After the end of the fortieth visit ceremony, the formation of the new government will be decided, especially since the framework candidate for prime minister is supported by the parliamentary majority.”
New Recommendations
For his part, the expert on Iraqi affairs, Ghaleb al-Damamy, confirmed that “the candidate, Muhammad Shia’a al-Sudani, is strongly proposed within the forces of the coordination framework, but despite this, there is a possibility to replace him with a figure who is accepted by the Sadrist movement, in the event that al-Sadr decides to accept the passage of the framework government in a way. general, and this also depends on the nature of the negotiations.
Al-Daami added, in statements to “Sky News Arabia”, that “the framework may resort to other tactics, to confront al-Sadr’s insistence, but in the end, the issue of Sudan’s candidacy is subject to dialogues and understandings, and not as the leaders of the framework speak.”
A few days ago, the political forces within the coordination framework began addressing the names of non-Sudanese candidates to head the next government, whose duration is estimated at one year, to supervise the holding of early elections and resolve the political blockage.
All the names presented are on conciliatory relations with al-Sadr, such as the governor of Basra, Asaad al-Eidani, the former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, the former governor of Najaf, Adnan al-Zarfi, as well as Qassem al-Araji and others.
However, despite the willingness of the negotiating delegation to go to Najaf, al-Sadr’s position is still ambiguous, after his allies announced the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Alliance of Sovereignty, their desire to form a new government, which is the position of the forces of the coordination framework, which means the possibility of surprising everyone and declaring his rejection of this path, and to return again to street.
