Iraq: Race between Sadr and Maliki on the formation of the largest parliamentary bloc after the ratification of the election results

 

The "coalition of law" is betting on the Kurds and the dissidents of Abadi ... and "Surun" clings to Hakim
Bright Resan
Aug 20, 2018

 

Baghdad «Al-Quds Al-Arabi»: The Iraqi political scene, on Sunday, a wide movement among the political forces winning in the legislative elections that took place on 12 May last, in preparation for the announcement of the largest parliamentary bloc, and the new government. 
The political blocs rushed to resume their consultations on coalitions, immediately after the Federal Supreme Court announced its ratification of the names of candidates winning the membership of the new parliament, amid conflicting statements of the two main groups, «Suron» and its allies on the one hand, «the rule of law» and its allies on the other hand. 
"The Federal Supreme Court held its session yesterday morning with the presence of all its members and considered the request to ratify the final results of the elections of the House of Representatives," the court's spokesman Ayas al-Samuk said in a statement.
He added that «the court checked the names received from the Electoral Commission for elections, accompanied by the book dated August 16», noting that «after the scrutiny and deliberation on the names received and objections to some of them, the court issued yesterday afternoon (yesterday) On the names received, where the resolution was issued by consensus ». 
Al-Quds Al-Arabi learned from identical sources (press and political), the arrival of the leader of the Sadrist movement, the main supporter of the alliance, "Suron" Moqtada al-Sadr, to the capital Baghdad, to engage in meetings with the leaders of blocs in order to form the largest bloc.
According to the sources, the nucleus of this bloc will consist of «Suron» and the stream «wisdom» led by Ammar al-Hakim, in addition to most components of the coalition «victory» led by Prime Minister Haider Abadi, and a number of Sunni political forces, most notably the party of solution led by Jamal Karbouli, Iyad Allawi, as well as the Kurdish opposition of the «Change» and «the new generation» and «coalition of democracy and justice» led by Barham Salih. 
If Sadr succeeds in forming this alliance, he will be able to achieve a simple majority (5 + 1) in the new parliament (165 deputies out of a total of 329 deputies), and thus, the formation of the largest bloc.

Deliberate and misleading

The spokesman for the "wisdom" movement, Nawfal Abu Raghef, said that things were going "positively" on the larger bloc to complete the axis of "wisdom" and "Surun" and "victory" and "national" in coordination with the Kurds. 
He said in a statement that «things are moving in a positive and logical and calm, towards the completion of the axis of wisdom and the rest and victory, patriotism and forces in high coordination with the Kurdish axis». 
He added: «This is done away from intimidation and misleading», pointing out that «the doors remain open to all on the basis of understanding and openness and the national interest». 
A few hours later, Abu Raghef announced in another statement that all Iraqi components will be present in the announcement of the formation of the largest bloc. 
He said: «All Iraqi components will be present in the meeting of national forces and coalitions to announce the nucleus of the coalition, which ends to form the largest bloc».
The Sadr-led coalition is set to include most of the deputies of the Al-Nasr Alliance, led by Abadi, amid almost certain news of the splitting of Al-Fadila and Atta from Al-Nasr. 
The coalition of Abadi, meanwhile, confirmed his "attachment" to the Iraqi prime minister, as the only candidate for a second term. 
The spokesman for the coalition, Hussein al-Adly said the coalition «agreed on the nomination of his boss Haider Abadi prime minister», adding that «there is no candidate other». 
"Victory is a national political project that adopts reform and the reconstruction of the state and its institutions in a way that ensures that the stations of failure and corruption are overcome and that the will will be overcome," he said in a statement. .
He continued: «talks continue to form the largest parliamentary bloc, which is the responsibility of governance to meet the aspirations of the people and the interests of the country's highest at this critical stage».

Intensive meetings

On the other hand, revealed a political source early in the coalition «State of Law», led by Nuri al-Maliki, the understandings advanced between the coalition and the alliance «Fatah», led by Hadi Amiri, in addition to the Kurdish parties (KDP and the National Union), and the leader of the coalition «decision» Osama Najafi , And other Sunni political blocs, to form the largest parliamentary bloc. 
The source, who asked not to be named, told al-Quds al-Arabi that al-Maliki has had intensive meetings since yesterday morning with other political forces, but these meetings were interrupted after visiting US President Bill Clinton's envoy, Donald Trump, . 
He added: «Maliki told MacGurk that the coalition of the rule of law Egypt on the draft political majority, being the best solution to chronic problems and intractable».
"The meeting reviewed the latest developments in the political and security situation in Iraq and the region, and ways to strengthen bilateral relations between the two friendly countries," Abadi said in a press statement. 
The statement quoted al-Maliki as saying: «the draft political majority is still the best solution to get rid of the political crises, security, economic and social chronic Iraq, and start to form a strong government able to maintain security and stability and restore the prestige of the state and the promotion of services». 
McGovern's meeting with Maliki comes a day after the US official met with the leader of the "wisdom" movement Ammar al-Hakim. 
According to a statement issued by the Information Office of Hakim, the latter assured MacGurk «Iraq's urgent need for a strong government and able to meet the aspirations of the Iraqi people under the conditions set by the Supreme Religious Reference».
He pointed out «the importance of ending the political debates and the removal of the government from political rivalries and the overriding public interest», pointing out that «the chances of the draft national majority is imminent and clearer than before». 
And called for «constructive dialogue to end the state of conflicts experienced by the region to enable their people to live in peace and to move to improve their development».

«Advanced understandings»

The source in Maliki's coalition, also revealed the understandings described as «advanced» between «the rule of law», «conquest», and forces of the coalition «victory» (Virtue, and the movement of tender led by Faleh al-Fayadh). 
He spoke of recent news that "Fayadh received threats from the alliance of victory, with the spread of the news of splitting from the alliance of slaves and joining Maliki's coalition," but pointed out that the news is "uncertain so far." 
In conjunction with the statement of the source, leaders of the alliance «victory», including Faleh Fayyad, not to enter the coalition «victory» in a limited alliance with some blocks. 
He said, and a number of leaders in a joint statement: «Out of concern for the unity of the victory coalition and its national path, we emphasize the need to be taken decisions in the context of health».
He added: "In our belief that the national bloc supporting the government should be representative of all the national political forces willing without any exception, and stressing our concern for the widest representation of the blocs concerned with the selection of the candidate for prime minister and not excluding any party concerned, Victory in a limited alliance with some respected political blocs, which is contrary to what we have previously confirmed ». 
Among the political forces supporting the Maliki alliance, is the mass of the "decision" led by Osama Nujaifi, as well as other leaders in the coalition, "National Axis" representative of the year, according to the source, who pointed out that «Sunnis are looking for positions. Which blocs give them the positions they want will go with them. They (the Sunnis) are exploiting their status as a captive egg, as much as possible. "
Al-Quds Al-Arabi learned from informed sources that the leaders of the National Axis headed yesterday to Erbil and met with the leader of the Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, and a number of Kurdish political leaders. 
"The two Kurdish parties (the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union) with the state of law. Massoud Barzani gave a speech to the state of law », pointing out that« in the case of Massoud (Maliki's alliance), the Talabani party will come with him as well, because the Kurdish House is not likely to split more, and the Kurdish parties will never separate from each other ». 
According to the source, Massoud Barzani «vowed to bring Sunni figures to the Maliki alliance». 
On the news circulated yesterday about Maliki's refusal to meet al-Sadr in Baghdad, the source confirmed that «the news that spoke about Maliki's refusal to meet al-Sadr, or the existence of mediation adopted by Amiri and Hakim to bring the views of the two political leaders is baseless».
He added: «Maliki confirms that his disagreement with Sadr is not personal, but that the issue (negotiations to form the largest bloc) on the curriculum», pointing at the same time that «Iran seeks to unite the Shiite house, and revive the National Alliance again. If Sadr stays outside the National Alliance, it means that the Iranian influence is worthless. " 
"There are two main external missions in Iraq today, the first led by the American envoy, and the second is conducted by the commander of the Qods Force Qasim Soleimani, who is currently in Iraq," he said, adding that "no one denies the great influence of Sulaymani on the Shiite political leaders." 
Hisham al-Rikabi, the director of the media office of the owners, denied that the dialogues that are taking place between the winning blocs revolve around the sharing of positions, stressing that "what is going on at the present time are discussions aimed at preparing a government program that will serve the citizen as a top priority."
"The current national dialogue among the political forces is not to divide the positions among the interlocutors, but to establish the rules for forming the largest bloc and to prepare an ambitious government program that sets priorities for serving the citizens," he said. Everything that is traded opposite (sharing positions) is a disgrace. "

Iraqi political parties agree to establish core alliance

Iraqi political parties have agreed on establishing a core alliance in an attempt to form a new government. 

 The deal was reached on Sunday, following a meeting between Muqtada al-Sadr, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, Ammar Hakim, and members of the al-Watanyah party.

"We agreed today to form a core for an alliance seeking to form a parliamentary alliance that can form the government. We have decided at this meeting to open up to our other partners to contribute together in the formation of this (largest) alliance," read a statement released following the talks.

The statement further noted that the alliance was being formed in the interest of the nation.

The announcement was made several hours after Iraq's Supreme Court ratified the outcome of the contested May 12 parliamentary elections in the country, giving the victor, Sadr and his coalition, a constitutional deadline of 90 days to form a government.    

PressTV-Iraqi Supreme Court ratifies parliamentary vote

Iraq’s Supreme Court has ratified the results of the contested May 12 parliamentary elections, which saw cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s movement score a major victory.

The parliament ordered a recount of the votes in June after a government report accused the electoral commission of ignoring widespread violations.

Days later, a huge fire destroyed a building that housed ballot boxes from the vote. Iraqi officials, including Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, said the fire was an attempt to harm Iraqi democracy.

The recount went ahead as planned and showed little difference from the initial results, giving Sadr a central role in forming the country's next government.

Sadr’s coalition, Sa'iroun, held 54 seats in the 329-seat parliament. Abadi, whose coalition, the Victory Alliance, had won only 42 seats to become third, formed an alliance with Sa'iroun in the aftermath of the election.

Iraqi lawmakers now have three months to form the new government. To do that, they need to hold their first session and elect a new speaker. From that point, they will have one month to elect a president.

The president will ask the largest bloc in the parliament to elect a prime minister who will form a government.

This is the fourth poll of its kind since the 2003 US invasion, which led to a sharp rise in sectarian tensions and ensuing terror-related violence in Iraq.

The next prime minister will face the huge task of rebuilding a country shattered by the war against Daesh and the US invasion.

State of Law, Fatah will form a parliamentary opposition front: Political source said on Sunday that State of Law Coalition, which is by former Iraqi Prime Minster Nuri al-Maliki, and Fatah Alliance led by Badr Militia's leader Hadi al-Amiri will announce the formation of a parliamentary opposition front.

 

The source confirmed that the bloc, which will be announced on Sunday, will not be the parliament's largest bloc but an opposition front.

He pointed out that an agreement was reached between Saairun Alliance, Victory Alliance, National Wisdom Movement, National Coalition and the Union of Sunni Forces on the formation of the parliament's largest bloc.

Why do I think this means that they will not show up to form a full quorum???  They are absolutely going to do anything and everything they can to disrupt the new government.

I am praying the issues of Article 140 and the HCL get done asap too.

 

I am real happy to see them in the news but we have to wait and see. Article 140 in parliament then implemented and National Oil Company (if HCL) on Sept 5th signed and implemented.

And I'd like to add,  that's even if I've got to buy a recreational vehicle because I don't have a pot to p in or a window to throw it out ! At least I would have somewhere to rest my weary bones !

The Euphrates -

 

The national wisdom movement said on Monday that the national axis has not settled its position on joining the nucleus of the largest bloc announced on Sunday, pointing out that the door is open for everyone to join. 

He said the leader of the current Habib terminal in a press statement that "the announcement of the nucleus of the largest bloc does not mean that the five-year coalition has reached the formula of resolution, but still needs more time," stressing that "the national axis has not officially joined the five-bloc so far." 

He added that the terminal, "the five-party announced that the door is open to all political forces to join them according to their belief in the strategic project," likely to "get the quintet of the five seats larger than the largest bloc swings"
