Abdul-Mahdi

Adil Abdul-Mahdi al-Muntafiki (Arabic: عادل عبد المهدي المنتفكي‎) is an Iraqi Shi'a politician, economist, and was one of the Vice Presidents of Iraq from 2005 to 2011. He was formerly served as the Finance Minister in the Interim government and Oil Minister from 2014 to 2016.[3]

Abdel-Mahdi is a member of the powerful Shi'a party the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, or SIIC. Long based in neighboring Iran, the group opposed a United States administration while holding close ties with the other U.S.-backed groups that opposed Saddam Hussein, including the Kurds and the Iraqi National Congress.

Background

He is a trained economist who left Iraq in 1969 for exile in France. He worked for French think tanks and edited magazines in French and Arabic. He was educated in France, and is the son of a respected Shiite cleric who was a minister in Iraq's monarchy. He attended high school at Baghdad College, an elite American Jesuit secondary school.

Iraqi politics

 

Further information: Government of Iraq from 2006

In the 1970s, Abdul-Mahdi was a leading member of the Iraqi Communist Party. The Party split into two separate factions, the ICP-Central Committee, which was more accommodating of the military governments that had ruled Iraq since 1958, and the ICP-Central Leadership, which rejected all forms of cooperation of what it regarded as anti-progressive regimes, in 1967. Abdul-Mahdi joined the ICP-Central Leadership, and continued being active until it gradually disappeared by the early 1980s. By that time, Abdul-Mahdi adopted Iranian Islamic ideas, eventually merging with the Islamists when Ayatollah Khomeini eradicated the communists and other liberal oppositions groups in Iran. Abdul-Mahdi continued his association with Iran and gradually amalgamated his group within the ICP-Central Leadership with the Iranians, rejecting his Marxist past and devoting all his group's time to propagating Khomeini's ideas in France, where he lived at the time. He eventually was made a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, an exiled opposition party and militia that was formed by Iran in Tehran in 1982 but composed exclusively of Iraqi exiles.[4]

In 2006, Abdul-Mahdi, outgoing Vice President in the transitional government, unsuccessfully ran for the United Iraqi Alliance's nomination for Prime Minister against incumbent Ibrahim al-Jaafari. He lost by one vote. He was reportedly considered to be a possibility for Prime Minister once again until Nouri al-Maliki became the UIA nominee. Subsequently, Abdul-Mahdi was re-elected as Vice President of Iraq. He exerted his limited authority in that role by delaying the first meeting of the National Assembly in March. He resigned from his position as vice-president on 31 May 2011.[5]

In December 2006, the Associated Press reported that Abdul-Mahdi could be the next Prime Minister of Iraq if a new multi-sectarian coalition succeeded in toppling the government of Nouri al-Maliki.[6]

In 2009, his bodyguards were involved in a bloody bank robbery in Baghdad.[7]

Assassination attempts

On 26 February 2007, he survived an assassination attempt that killed ten people. He had been targeted two times prior to this latest attack.[8]

Gov’t formation crisis: Who would eventually win?

Gov’t formation crisis: Who would eventually win?
 

 

The crisis of forming an Iraqi government and appointing a new prime minister is entering its fourth month while Iran’s influence in the country is expanding in a way that could be considered a “mandate over Mesopotamia.”

 

This influence is not only related to the Iraqi political or security processes, as it also reached the social, religious and cultural scenes.

 

One the other hand, inside of a green fortified area in the center of Baghdad, lies the U.S. embassy, which was turned out to be a political operations room, like its Iranian counterpart.

 

Washington is currently witnessing a shock in Iraq, as even its allies, whether Sunni or Kurdish, seemed not pliable to its pressures and having more faith in Iran’s promises.

 

On the contrary to previous legislative elections, terrorist factions that owe allegiance to Iran have around 29 representatives in the Parliament. These parliamentarians were involved with various terrorist groups and militias as armed operatives; seven of them participated in battles in Syria along with Bashar al-Assad’s regime, including Hassan Salem, who was believed to be the head of the Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq militia, Ahmed al-Asadi and Abu Mariam Al Ansari.

 

This is in addition to around 100 other representatives of different parties, most notably the Islamic Dawa Party, Islamic Virtue Party, and Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, and a number of Sunni parties, which all practically have been following the Iranian agenda for years.

 

In other words, half of Iraq’s Parliament is currently at the disposal of Iran; therefore, passing decisions is now easier than any time before.

 

Coalition or majority-based government

 

Ahmed al-Hamdani, an expert on Iraqi political affairs, said, “The compass in Iraq is almost entirely pointing at Iran, there is a final consensus that the government will only be formed in partnership between the Alliance towards Reforms party and the Fatah Alliance.”

 

“This means that the formation of the next government will be based on cooperation, not a government of political majority, as quoted by Muqtada al-Sadr and Nouri al-Maliki during the past weeks,” Hamdani added.

 

This is what Iran has been seeking from the beginning, through uniting the two election-winning Shiite parties in an alliance or a political partnership to form the government, unlike U.S. efforts to exclude the Fatah Alliance, which includes 13 political wings of armed factions, which Washington seeks to enroll on its list of terrorist organizations. These factions follow the office of the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei.

 

Hamdani also pointed out that it was a shock for the United States to see four Sunni alliances, out of six, to refrain from its grip, in addition to stalling the Kurds to accept an alliance with Haider al-Abadi to support him for a second term in office.

 

“It is certain that Washington will not accept a political loss in Iraq by surrendering to Iran’s possession, especially after all the human and financial losses they endured in this country; the matter which currently concerns Iraqis, both politically and popularly,” Hamdani clarified.

 

After the completion of all the requirements for the activation of the Iraqi Parliament’s role, by electing a new Sunni speaker who is affiliated to a pro-Iran coalition and two Shiite deputies, namely Hassan Karim Kaabi and Bashir al-Haddad, it is now the Kurds’ turn to determine their options internally and announce a presidential candidate; which is an honorary position that is granted minor constitutional authority. The Iraqi Parliament announced opening candidacy for the anticipated presidential election next Tuesday.

Reckon Sadr was simply extending a hand out to Amiri because Maliki thought he was going to work with Amiri to form the largest bloc. Perhaps Abadi being dumped like yesterdays trash was merely an offensive move by Abadi and Sadr to derail Maliki's plans with Amiri. I think Abadi will still be our next PM. Why would they go with anyone associated with Iran when Sadr is as oppossed to Iranian influence as much as he is American influence. Not to mention Basra and Kurdistan totally hates Iranian Mullahs currently. To be a border neighbor to Iran is to hate Iran....

Iraqi Former Vice President Adil Abdul Mahdi

 
Iraqi Former Vice President Adil Abdul Mahdi refused to run for the position of the Prime Minister again, due not to lose his popularity.

In a letter presented to the public on Sunday, Abdul Mahdi said he believes that he will soon be opposed by the majority, in a way that deprives him of the required support.

Giving further details, the former vice president said that some opposition blocs will oppose the economic reform he proposes. He pointed out that their intervention in the state’s institution will put obstacles in his program.

Abdul Mahdi upheld in his letter the separation of powers model and preventing of some parliamentarians from intervening in government's executive and judicial duties.

Abdul Mahdi also showed his support, unlike some political powers, to citizenship rights, and treating all citizens equally, no matter their religion or belief.

Six names compete to win new Iraq prime minister position

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Six Iraqi figures are competing to become the next prime minister of the new Iraqi government as the al-Nasr Coalition insists on keeping Haider al-Abadi in office for a second term.

A senior member from the Construction Coalition, which is composed of Nouri al-Maliki’s State of Law, Hadi al-Amiri’s al-Fatih Coalition, and other small Sunni and Shia blocs, said Monday that six candidates are competing for the Iraqi prime minister position.

According to Amir al-Faiz, a senior member of the Construction Coalition, his coalition, and the Sairoon Coalition have presented three candidates each for the next prime minister of Iraq.

Sairoon’s nominees are Adil Abdul Mahdi, a former oil minister, Asaad al-Eidani, Basra governor, and Abdul Wahab al-Saadi, second-in-command of Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Service.

The Construction Coalition have also presented Abdul Mahdi as a candidate as well as Falih al-Fayyadh, former Director of National Security Council, and Ali Shukri.

Meanwhile, a senior member of al-Nasr Coalition, Ali al-Snaid, says Abadi is still the favorite candidate to remain in his role as prime minister.

Marja’iya, the Shia religious authority in al-Najaf, and Muqtada al-Sadr are supporting Abadi’s second term in office, Snaid added.

Iraq’s top Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, previously said he “does not support a [candidate for the role of] prime minister that is chosen from politicians that were in power in the past years.”

UPDATED: Iraqi Shia militia leader Hadi al-Amiri withdraws candidacy for Prime Minister

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Hadi al-Amiri, the commander of the Iranian-backed Shia militia and head of the second-largest parliamentary coalition in Iraq, on Tuesday announced he was withdrawing from the race for prime ministership.

Amiri is a prominent Shia militia commander and heads the Fatih (Conquest) Coalition, an electoral bloc which came in second in the May 12 national election, with 48 seats.

His coalition has been trying to secure the largest parliamentary bloc to form the new federal government of Iraq.

“I would like to announce to the dear Iraqi people the withdrawal of my candidacy for prime minister, to open the way for serious dialogue to elect a prime minister and his government according to the vision of the Supreme religious authority [of Iraq],” he said in a news conference, referring to the country’s top Shia cleric, Ali al-Sistani.

Amiri’s coalition comprises of political groups tied to Iranian-backed Shia Hashd al-Shaabi militias who fought the Islamic State (IS) alongside the Iraqi security forces but also threaten US assets in the country.

His Badr organization controls the current Iraqi Interior Ministry.

Over the past few weeks, Amiri’s alliance has held negotiations with Shia cleric and winner of the national elections, Muqtada al-Sadr, to establish a new coalition and form government.

Sadr, whose Sairoon Coalition came out victorious during the May 12 election, portrays himself as an Iraqi nationalist leader, opposed to both the US and Iranian interference in Iraq.

In June, he formed an alliance with incumbent Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi but recently has engaged in more talks with Amiri’s bloc as the recent Basra protests greatly affected Abadi’s image. The former Prime Minister’s run for a second term as a premier has been marred, namely after Sistani voiced his support for a “new face” to govern the country.

3 candidates for the premiership at the opening table, most notably Abdul Mahdi

180917082543624~4274-3-3.jpg

 

 

 Baghdad / Mohammed Sabah

It seems that the consultations between the coalition of construction and reconstruction has resolved a lot of controversial points that would call the candidate of consensus for the presidency of the next government. The two sides are now looking into the files of more than three candidates, including Adel Abdul Mahdi, whose chances of taking office seem strong. 
The most prominent points approved between the conquest and the rest is the election of an independent candidate did not take over the former prime minister. Expectations indicate that the compromise candidate could be announced next week.

"There is a rapprochement between the coalition of building, reconstruction and reform on the person of the next prime minister," said a member of the negotiating committee of the wisdom movement Abdullah al-Zaidi. 
Zaidi added that "this rapprochement happened as a result of negotiations and technical matters include the passage of the candidate for the presidency in the House of Representatives through the agreement of the parties to submit." 
Zaidi said that "the attempt to form the largest bloc does not appear to be the salient feature of the current stage," stressing that "the current move is trying to elect a ministerial cab in the same mechanism in which the election of the Presidency of the new parliament." 
The member of the negotiating committee of the stream of wisdom that "things are moving between the coalition of reform and construction towards an independent candidate meets the specifications of integrity and efficiency and apply terms of reference," noting that "
"There is a glimmer of hope for the rapprochement between the reform and building alliances, despite the failure to comply with all the wishes of each alliance," he said, adding that "the goal is to achieve the greatest goal of desires and closeness with each other." 
And on the number of candidates competing for the post of head of the next government draws a leader in the wisdom stream that "the screening process for the candidates for prime minister limited the competition between two to three candidates," most notably Abdul Mahdi. 
The most important positions held by Adel Abdul Mahdi, Minister of Finance in the interim Iraqi government headed by Iyad Allawi, 2004 - 2005, and then became Vice President of the Republic for the period 2006 - 2010, and then oil minister in the government of Abadi, who resigned because of the protests that swept the Iraqi provinces 2015, which called for reform, and did not participate in the recent parliamentary elections.
In turn, confirms a member of the political body of the Sadrist movement, Zamili governor that "everyone is waiting to resolve the dialectic of the largest bloc by the Federal Court," revealing "the arrival of a query to the Federal Court on the determination of the largest mass."

I vote for this bloc formation:

Yota, Buti, Chuck F, Synopsis, Poker Player, Carrillo, and the rest of us here on DV to form a coalition.

Then we elect Davis for Prez.   🤷‍♀️ These poor citizens are the ones that are paying the price.  No wonder the turn out for voting is so low and no one is elected yet.  All I see when I imagine them in session is those haribo gummy bear commercials where small children are pretending to adult. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper reported that the Iraqi politician Adel Abdul Mahdi is considered the best candidate for the post of prime minister after the agreement between Moqtada al-Sadr and Hadi al-Amiri, while Haider al-Abadi remains a rival at a time when Washington no longer has a lot of pressure to bring it compared to what the Shiite authority in Najaf Which implicitly supported the nomination of Abdul Mahdi.

The report said today (September 18, 2018) that "Abdul-Mahdi, who previously held the posts of Vice President of the Republic and Minister of Finance and Oil as the best candidate to replace the outgoing Prime Minister Haider Abadi, an unprecedented consensus between the leaders of the alliance of Suron, Moqtada al-Sadr, Hadi al-Amiri . " The newspaper quoted a member of the House of Representatives for the Fatah bloc Naim Aboudi as saying, that the chances of Abdul-Mahdi look good, and Amiri stressed more than once that he is not sticking to the post, and that with anyone is agreed upon . 

Abdul-Mahdi announced that he would stop writing the editorials of the newspaper "Justice", through which he gives his political visions of how to build the state.

Although Abdul Mahdi, who was published three months ago an editorial in which he set conditions for the premiership to replace the slaves that he said "not available", the cessation of writing was interpreted by many as the start of preparations for dealing with his nomination for the first executive position in Iraq.

The report added that "this nomination, which seemed surprising to the Iraqi political community in light of the multiplicity of the number of contestants to head the government, which was not Abdul Mahdi among them, while there are names Hadi Amiri, who withdrew his nomination for Abdul Mahdi, and Haidar Abadi, who is still a competitor at the time of Washington is holding a lot of pressure to bring it in comparison to what the Shiite authority in Najaf has, which implicitly supported the nomination of Abdul Mahdi. "

The newspaper concluded that "political analysts in Baghdad see the success of the Iranian plan to pass the presidency of the parliament in the person of the leader of the National Axis Alliance Mohamed Halabousi in accordance with the construction block, which includes the alliance of the conquest and the rule of law at the expense of US efforts, which began to decline in support of Abbadi, It seems clear on the level of the proposal of Abdul Mahdi as a compromise candidate, and on whether the nomination of Abdul Mahdi has turned from the role of leaks to put him as an official candidate says the slave that the chances Adel Abdul Mahdi looks good but so far there is no formal agreement in this regard and all that is being talked about Exit the frame Speculation.
