Parliamentary question by Barham Salih: Why is the delay in submitting the name of the approved candidate?

Author: AhadNA1 On 01/29/2020 - 1:40 PM 19

Today, Wednesday, Member of Parliament Badr Al-Ziyadi asked President Barham Salih to present the name of a figure obtained by consensus to the parliament to proceed with forming the government, wondering why this delay in submitting the name of the candidate who was agreed upon.

Al-Ziyadi said in a statement to him, “There is a great agreement among most political forces on a certain personality in order to assign her to the position of the next Prime Minister.” Noting that “the delay in submitting the candidate is from the President of the Republic and we do not know what the reasons for this delay are and this is the question we ask him why this Delay in submitting the name of the approved candidate.

He added, "The 100% agreement is difficult for the name of a candidate, but with a good percentage we were able to agree on a specific name, and we hope that the President of the Republic assigns him during the coming hours," stressing that "Iraq needs to provide a prime minister quickly to get out of the recession." We live in Iraq and go to safety by forming a government backed by the majority of the House of Representatives. ”

He continued, "We do not want to bring a dialectical figure with a difference that causes the chaos on the street. Rather, it is an acceptable figure from most parties, because it will receive a government for a certain period. As for waiting from the President of the Republic until everyone agrees, this means that we will not present a candidate for a year or more."

Iraq's next PM: candidate for real reform or business as usual?

21 minutes ago

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Shiite political parties in Iraq have been given until Saturday to reach an agreement on appointing a new prime minister, or President  Barham Salih will assign an independent candidate to form the next  governmental cabinet.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi resigned from his post in late  2019 following months of protests against the government, but he  remains in a caretaker role as the Shiite blocs – which dominate the parliament – have failed to agree on a replacement that  is also acceptable to the protesters on the streets.

Salih sent a letter to all Shiite  political parties on Wednesday to inform them of the new deadline.

“I invite all political parties to reach an agreement regarding the  candidate who will be next Prime Minister, who is also accepted by  the Iraqi people,” Salih said. 

“The political parties have until  Saturday to agree on a candidate for the position, or I will use my  constitutional authority to assign an independent candidate who is  the most accepted candidate by the Iraqi people and the parliament.”

Salih threatened to resign in December amid ongoing pressure to nominate foreign-backed candidates as PM, an issue which has rallied Iraqis to the streets since October.

The pro-Iran Bina coalition claims to be the largest bloc in Iraqi parliament, granting it  the constitutional prerogative to select Iraq’s new prime minister.

The coalition, headed by Hadi al-Ameri and former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, nominated Basra governor Asaad al-Aidani as Iraq's next leader. They sent a letter to President Salih requesting that he assign al-Aidani to lead Iraq’s new cabinet, which was rejected by the president.

More than 600 protesters and members of the security forces have been  killed and around 18,000 more wounded since pro-reform demonstrations began on October 1, calling for complete change to the post-2003 political order.

The  government’s brutal repression of the protests led to increased  pressure for Abdul-Mahdi to resign, culminating with Ayatollah Ali  al-Sistani, Iraq's most influential Shiite cleric, calling for  Abdul-Mahdi's resignation in a sermon on Friday, November 29.

Since Abdul-Mahdi heeded the demands to step down and submitted his  resignation on November 30, there has been intense political sparring  between politicians, parliamentary blocs and protesters over who will  be nominated to lead Iraq’s next cabinet.
 
The most recent candidates put forward by political parties are Ali al-Shukri, former Minister of Planning from 2011 to 2014 and MP from  2014 to 2018, and Mohammed Toufiq al-Alawi, who served as Minister of  Communication from 2006 to 2007, and again from the end of 2010-2012,  when he resigned.

The third shortlisted is Mustafah al-Kadhimi, head of the Iraqi  National Intelligence Service since 2016. He has worked to purge the  influence of parties over the institution, and is seen as the least  partisan among the candidates.

The first response from the Construction Alliance to the decisive presidential deadline for the prime minister candidate 

 

 

Politics 01/20/2020 17:14 497    

Baghdad today - private

 

Haneen Qaddou, the construction alliance deputy, revealed on Wednesday (January 29, 2020) the intention of his alliance to present an acceptable "candidate" for the position of head of the new government, before the president's term, Barham Salih, expires. 

Qaddu told (Baghdad today), that "his alliance will present its candidate to the President of the Republic before the deadline set by the latter expires, in which he asked the political blocs to agree to present a non-controversial figure to take over the post next Saturday." 

He added that "the construction will provide several names to the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, in order to choose one of them to take over the presidency of the Council of Ministers," pointing out that "going to the assignment of a personality other than that provided by the political blocs, may cause the situation to be greatly aggravated."

Earlier, informed sources revealed, on Wednesday (January 29, 2020), the text of the message sent by the President of the Republic to the political forces, regarding the mandate of the new Prime Minister, within next Saturday. 

More than one source, from whom I asked (Baghdad today), about the text of the message circulating in the media, said that the text of the message is correct, and the President of the Republic sent it to a number of political forces concerned with choosing the alternative Prime Minister to resign Adel Abdul Mahdi. 

The text of the message follows: 

Iraq faces dangerous political junctures that compel us all to confront it responsibly, to avoid further complications in the Iraqi scene, and to fulfill the legitimate demands of the people to form a new government that will pave the way for the upcoming elections. 

Since Prime Minister Adel Abdel-Mahdi submitted his official resignation to the parliament, political and parliamentary debates were launched for the purpose of choosing a candidate to take over the government, and unfortunately due to political debates and tensions, these deliberations did not lead until today to an understanding of a "non-controversial" candidate for the presidency of the parliament. The ministers are able to address the requirements of the stage and achieve the political and popular consensus required to cross the country to safety and restore order and prepare for the upcoming elections, which called the supreme religious authority, national powers and demonstrators to ask those concerned to expedite the resolution of the government formation file.

Events are accelerating and the scene is getting more complicated on the official and popular levels. There are increasing numbers of martyrs and victims from peaceful demonstrators and security forces, and we believe that the biggest node lies in reaching reasonable limits to agree on the new candidate for the presidency of the Council of Ministers, and certainly that continuing with the current situation is impossible and foreshadowing With great danger and greater complexity.

I call on you, as parliamentary blocs concerned with the nomination of the Prime Minister, to resume constructive and serious political dialogue in order to agree on a new candidate for the presidency of the Council of Ministers with popular approval and submit it to the Presidency of the Republic in order to issue the mandate order. Inevitably, you estimate that the President of the Republic has a national and constitutional duty to push towards resolving the crisis, and if the concerned blocs are not able to settle the nomination order by no later than Saturday, February 1, 2020, I see an obligation to exercise my constitutional powers by assigning those whom I find most acceptable to Parliament and people, and in Output framework of the consultations that I held during the last period with political forces and popular activities.

The sources told “Al-Ahed News” that many political blocs resented President Saleh’s message and prepared it as an attempt to evade responsibility for the delay and his refusal repeatedly to assign the candidate presented by the largest bloc and believes that he does not have the constitutional right to assign any person without prior nomination from the largest bloc, no matter how long Time.

In the political scenes, accusations are being made against President Saleh of trying to impose a specific personality under American pressure to serve the directions of Washington, and that he will further complicate the crisis with the policy of imposing a fait accompli, especially since the presidency of the government is part of the share of the Shiite component and it is decided by him and not the Kurdish or Sunni component, according to the established agreements.

The sources stated to “Al-Ahed News” that President Saleh’s message does not go beyond trying to pressure and embarrass the Shi’ite blocs to accelerate the settlement of the prime minister’s candidate, especially after the authority’s emphasis on this, and it may be a precedent for existing and semi-settled agreements that the president is trying to make to his position.

In a lengthy letter to the parliamentary blocs, President Barham Saleh invited her to present a candidate who enjoys political and popular acceptance ending next Saturday, February 1, before he addresses the responsibility of assigning a "non-controversial" candidate.

President Barham Saleh's deadline, stirred the waters of the political blocs for months to choose an alternative to Abdel Mahdi accepted by the protesting masses, and at a time within the protesters after Saleh's deadline a solution after two days to a major obstacle towards the early elections, MPs affirmed that the issue would be unilaterally, amid expectations that the president would be alone With that. 

After 5 "dialectical" candidates, Al-Fateh abandons insistence

They witnessed the past weeks, the presentation of more than one figure for the prime minister, all of whom fell in front of the acceptance of the demonstrators, while some of them did not gain the acceptability of the political blocs to pass them in Parliament in the vote. 

The deputy of the al-Hikma stream, Hassan Faddam, confirmed today, Wednesday, that there is a close breakthrough related to the nomination of the new prime minister, after the Fateh Alliance abandoned the insistence, he said. 

And he supported, in a televised statement, that "the Al-Fateh coalition was insisting on nominating controversial personalities for the prime minister, which delayed the nomination of the prime minister by the President of the Republic," noting that "Al-Fath abandoned the insistence to present personalities to take over the prime minister, and he went on to nominate names other than Controversial, which means that the announcement of the candidate will take place within the next two days.

For its part, the Bayyak Al-Khair Parliamentary Bloc affirmed that most political forces agree on a specific figure for the position of Prime Minister in the next transitional government. 

The head of the bloc, Muhammad Othman Al-Khaldi, said in an interview with (Baghdad Today) that "most of the political forces have agreed on a specific figure for the next prime minister post after there were 5 candidates," noting that "the personality is efficient and impartial and will be accepted by all parties." 

Al-Khalidi added, "Consultations are still ongoing between the political forces," noting that "the selection of the specific figure for the post of prime minister is very close and may be finally decided within a short period." 

Agreement between the rest of the movement and Fatah .. What if the president is alone?

On Friday (12 December 2019), the supreme religious authority in Najaf called for speeding up the formation of the new government and for it to be “non-dialectical” and be able to restore the state’s prestige and calm conditions, and with President Saleh’s deadline that adopted the specifications of the reference to provide a Prime Minister who is not Controversially, parliamentarians affirm that the two largest coalitions in the parliament (al-Fatah and al-Fateh) have come very close to resolving the file. 

Al-Fateh deputy, Karim Alioui, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the political movement between his alliance with others to choose a non-controversial figure for the post of prime minister has reached advanced stages. 

Aliwi said in an interview with (Baghdad Today), that "things have reached advanced stages after agreement between the others and Fatah to choose a non-dialectical figure that is acceptable to the political blocs and the Iraqi street."

He added, "The file will be decided at the beginning of next week with the expiry of the President Barham Salih's deadline," which confirms the existence of a major move to avoid choosing the President of the Republic who is nominated to head the government himself, which may "aggravate the situation," according to the representative of the Construction Alliance, Hanin al-Qaddou. 

Today, Wednesday, Al-Qudo affirmed his coalition’s intention to present an acceptable candidate for the post of the new government, before the deadline of President Barham Salih.

Qaddo told (Baghdad today), that "the construction will provide several names to the president of the republic in order to choose one of them to assume the position of prime minister," noting that "going in favor of assigning a personality other than that provided by the political blocs, may cause the situation to be greatly aggravated."

Message to the president

President Saleh had mentioned in the text of his letter to the political blocs, which he gave until Saturday, to exercise his constitutional powers to assign to those who find him "the most acceptable MP and popular", that "events are accelerating and the scene is getting more complicated on the official and popular levels, and there are increasing numbers of martyrs and victims from Peaceful demonstrators and security forces, and we believe that the biggest node lies in reaching reasonable limits to agree on the new candidate for the presidency of the Council of Ministers, and certainly that the continuation of the current situation is impossible and warns of great danger and greater complexity. " 

A message in favor: The blocs failed to present an acceptable candidate and you are the authorized one according to the constitution

Today, Wednesday, the representative of Al-Nasr coalition Hoda Sajjad sent an oral message to the President of the Republic regarding the candidate for prime minister in the next transitional government, and while she affirmed that the political blocs failed to choose an efficient and independent figure to occupy the post, she indicated that the President was pleased with that choice. 

Sajjad said in an interview with (Baghdad Today), that "the political blocs failed to choose an efficient and independent figure to occupy the position of the president of the transitional government and the president of the republic is the guardian of the constitution and is free to choose and hand-picked to choose the most efficient, best and most capable of the position away from quotas, sectarian and political pressure."

Sajjad added, "Most of the candidates refused to take over as prime minister because of the pressure exerted on them by the political blocs, especially since the building block candidates (Ali Al-Shukri and Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi) are competent personalities, and they were presented to others but were rejected." 

The MP asked about the victory coalition in the parliament: "Do you think that the political blocs bear the responsibility for this nomination under the coming circumstances?", Stressing at the same time that "the person of the chosen prime minister must be away from political pressure because the failure of previous prime ministers because of the pressures and their accumulation" . 

While information (Baghdad today) indicates an intense movement to resolve the most important knot standing in the way of meeting the most important demand raised by the protesters, political circles confirm that this movement is very serious this time and will come out with agreement on a personality that will not provoke the protesters' opposition but will be accepted.

If Saleh wants to be a baller, he can select a Sunni PM and watch Iran and their puppet MP's lose their sh!t before they get thrown out with the trash within a week. As it turns out, that's the only solution anyway. His selection cannot be someone the construction party would tolerate. Compromise is both impossible and unacceptable at this point.

Sources for Al-Hurra reported that Iraqi party leaders and parliamentarians agreed on Wednesday to nominate former Minister of Communications Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi for the post of prime minister.

Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi

The sources indicated the approval of the leader of the "Saeron" coalition, Muqtada Al-Sadr, the leader of the Al-Fath coalition, Hadi al-Amiri, former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, and the head of the al-Hikma Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, to nominate Allawi to succeed Adel Abdul-Mahdi.

The President of the Republic, Barham Salih, had given three days to the political blocs to nominate a new prime minister to succeed Adel Abdul Mahdi, who resigned last month.

"If the concerned blocs fail to resolve the nomination order no later than the first Saturday of February, I see an obligation to exercise my constitutional powers by assigning those whom I find most acceptable to parliament and people," Saleh said in a letter to the parliamentary blocs Wednesday.

The Iraqi president’s move comes after the failure of the main Shiite blocs in the Iraqi parliament to agree on a candidate who has been accepted by the rising street since October 1 to demand early elections and the enactment of a new electoral law, the naming of a prime minister, and accountability for those responsible for the bloodshed of demonstrators and the trial of corrupt people.

Abdel-Mahdi submitted his resignation last December, after two months of anti-government protests that witnessed bloody violence that killed more than 500 people and wounded about 25 thousand wounded.

In the natural case, the Iraqi constitution stipulates that the largest parliamentary bloc be nominated as a candidate for prime minister, within 15 days of the legislative elections, and then the President of the Republic shall assign the Prime Minister to form his government within one month.

On December 20, the supreme Shiite cleric, Ayatollah Ali Sistani, called for the formation of a new "non-controversial" government capable of holding early elections "away from the power of arms and external interference."

Al-Aqili: The political indicator in the Shiite house does not help in choosing the next prime minister

 

 

Baghdad / Al-Akhbariya:
Independent politician Mohammed Al-Okaili confirmed on Wednesday that the political indicator in the Shiite house does not help the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, in choosing the next prime minister.
Al-Okaili said in a televised statement, followed by "Al-Akhbaria", that "all hypotheses indicate that the country has returned to square one after the next prime minister could not be chosen."
Al-Okaili added that "President of the Republic Barham Saleh will not delegate a prime minister without recourse to consensus," noting that "the escalation of the street will not threaten political blocs and the only offense is the street itself."
He continued, "The Construction Alliance called on the President of the Republic to wait to choose the Prime Minister to reach the final consensus," noting that "there are political forces benefiting from the collision on the street."
