Shafiq News Adel Abdul Mahdi Al-Muntafi is an Iraqi politician born in Baghdad in 1942. His father held a ministerial position during the reign of King Faisal I in the 1920s.

He received his bachelor’s degree in economics from Baghdad University in 1963. He received a master’s degree in political science at the International Institute of Public Administration in Paris in 1970 and a master’s degree in political economy at the University of Poitiers in France in 1972.

He has held the position of President of the French Institute for Islamic Studies and has edited several magazines in Arabic and French.

He belonged to the Baath party and then to Maoist communism (while in France) and then joined the Shiite Islamic movement after the Iranian revolution.

He was a leader in the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) and its representative in many forums.

Adel Abdul Mahdi joined the Baath Party at the beginning of his youth when the party was in its early years of establishment and had a well-known connection to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

He was influenced by nationalist Arab and socialist ideas, but left the Baath Party in 1963, was imprisoned and sentenced to death in the 1960s.

He worked since the early 1980s with Muhammad Baqir al-Hakim and the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), which he was a leader in, and in many countries and events.

Returned to Iraq after the fall of the regime of former President Saddam Hussein, and became an alternate member of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim in the Governing Council in the stage of “authority of civil administration,” and then served as Minister of Finance in the government of Iyad Allawi in 2004, a representative of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution, US negotiations on the cancellation of Iraqi foreign debt, and persuaded a number of international donors to drop a large part of them.

He became one of the two Iraqi vice-presidents in 2005, after he was a candidate for prime minister before giving in favor of Ibrahim al-Jaafari.

Contributed to the drafting of the new Iraqi constitution.

The last post taken by Abdul Mahdi was the Ministry of Oil, which he resigned in March 2016.

We waited almost 5 months since the election for a president and now the Iraqis have another 30 day to form a government. I know this is still moving in the right direction but REALLY!!!

 

I gotta hand it to you . . . you're waaaaayyy more polite and very concise by the way, in expressing your " outrage, disgust & anger " with all of this. Thank you and I agree wholeheartedly with your statement.

 

I'd have probably been in trouble with the Mods if I had cut loose. After 15 going on 16 years of waiting my patience is all but at an end.

 

All the Best :tiphat:

Dont worry flordian this is a pretty stand up guy. When he left his post as oil minister in 2016 it was because the government was a stale mate and he said he would no longer work in a government that refused to do for its people. He has long been an activist for the people and has written many op-ed pieces where he wasnt afraid to go after anyone for their wrong doing and wasnt afraid to point out what needed to be done in iraq. Also, he was the former oi minister and he knows exactly how things should go for that much needed hcl. In the 8 years that i have been in this and all the research i have done, i have always liked mahdi. ;)

KNew Iraq president asks Shiite once tied to Iran to form government

Kurdish moderate Barham Salih taps veteran Shiite politician Adel Abdul-Mahdi, a former member of the Tehran-backed Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, to be PM

Newly elected Iraqi President Kurdish Barham Saleh (C) walks at the parliament in Baghdad on October 2, 2018. 

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Kurdish moderate Barham Salih was named Iraq’s new president Tuesday, immediately setting to work by tasking veteran Shiite politician Adel Abdul-Mahdi with forming a new government, nearly five months after national elections were held, state TV reported late Tuesday.

Abdul-Mahdi is an independent who previously served as vice president, oil minister and finance minister.

He is not allied with either of the two Shiite-led blocs that each claim to have the most support system" rel="">support after May’s elections, in which no party won an outright majority. He was previously a member of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, a large Shiite party with close ties to Iran.

 

He was tasked with forming a new government by Salih, a Kurdish politician who was elected to the largely ceremonial role of president in a parliamentary vote earlier Tuesday.

Under an unofficial agreement dating back to the 2003 US-led invasion, Iraq’s presidency — a largely ceremonial role — is held by a Kurd, while the prime minister is Shiite and the parliament speaker is Sunni.

The prime minister-designate will have 30 days to submit his cabinet to parliament. Iraq held elections May 12.

State TV said Salih, of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, won 220 votes out of the 273 lawmakers who attended Tuesday’s session. He was among 20 candidates for the post, including one from the rival Kurdistan Democratic Party. The two parties have dominated Kurdish politics for decades.

Shiite lawmaker Hamid al-Moussawi said the lawmakers were supposed to vote Monday, but delayed the session for nearly 24 hours after the KDP and the PUK were unable to agree on a candidate. The parliament speaker eventually decided to hold a vote among all 20 nominees.

 
The KDP’s nominee was Fuad Hussein, who served as chief of staff for the former Kurdish regional president Masoud Barzani.

Born in 1960 in the northern city of Sulaimaniyah, Salih joined the PUK in 1976 and later worked in its foreign relations department in London. He studied at Cardiff University and the University of Liverpool.

He held various posts in the Iraqi government after the 2003 invasion, including planning minister and deputy prime minister, and from 2009 to 2011 he served as prime minister of the Kurdish region.

Last year, he broke away from PUK following the death of the party’s founder, Jalal Talabani, a former Iraqi president. Salih formed an opposition party, but returned to the PUK to be its nominee for president.

Two Shiite-led blocs have emerged since the May elections, both of which claim to have the most seats and therefore the right to form a government. One is led by the current prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, and includes supporters of the populist Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose followers won the most votes in the election. The other bloc includes state-sanctioned militias, many of which are backed by Iran, as well as former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
