Monday, May 31st 2010 2:28 PM

Erbil, May 31, (AKnews) – The Spokesman for the State of Law list, led by the outgoing Iraqi Prime Minister, Nuri al-Maliki, confirmed today that the disagreement between their list and the Iraqi National Alliance (INA) over the next Iraqi Prime Minister’s post will be settled within the next five coming days.

“In yesterday’s meeting the State of Law and INA discussed some proposals to nominate a common candidate for the next prime minister's post”, Hachm al-Hasani told AKnews Monday.

“A committee is empowered to nominate the candidate of the two alliances within the four or five coming days”, he added, explaining that the nomination then will be recognized by compromising or voting.

Four other committees, as al-Hasani stated, are set up to hold in the coming days extensive talks for widening the range of alliance to cover other blocs too."

The committees comprise the committee for reviewing the prime minister's candidate nomination, the committee for negotiation with the winning lists, the committee for organizing the Media statements, and the committee for systematizing the political affairs and policy direction in the new government, al-Hasani named the committees.

“The two Shiite Alliances will not give up the prime minister's post unless there is an outside pressure as each one of them has its own candidate for the post”, Abbas Nuri, writer and journalist from London-Based al_Hayat paper told AKnews today.

“Iraq cannot form government without the support of an outsider, as all the lists are divided over nominating a candidate for the post of the Iraqi prime minister”, Nuri added.

I totally agree. This bologna about merging lists seems to not have a deadline. 91 is greater than 89, lets move along!!
