{Politics: Al-Furat News} The political analyst, Juma Al-Atwani, ruled out the completion of the quorum for the presidential election next Saturday.

 

Al-Atwani said; For the program {Al-Mastra} broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel tonight: “According to the information, there are signatures and the coordinating framework feels reassured about next Saturday’s session that the quorum is not complete, after an understanding with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and all the representatives of Sulaymaniyah.”
He added, "All possibilities exist, given that there is a group of independents taking a final position. A quorum may be achieved, but the candidate will not obtain a two-thirds quorum." 
Al-Atwani confirmed, "The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr's recent tweet indicates the inability of the Triple Alliance by obtaining 220 parliamentary votes, so he invited the independents," adding, "It is in the interest of the Kurds to agree among themselves on a compromise candidate." 
He went on to say, "The political process cannot proceed in stability and smoothness unless all parties participate in it, and everyone is expected that the political process will not proceed with a national majority. As for the framework, it has opened its arms to all parties for understanding and negotiation." 
Al-Atwani noted that "the dialogues between the framework and the movement are almost absent, especially after the recent visit of the head of the Al-Fateh Alliance Hadi Al-Amiri to Mr. Al-Sadr, and the talk is about determining the largest bloc before the names of the candidates for the position of prime minister are presented."
With regard to the party and the Alekti dispute over the presidential candidate, Al-Atwani explained, "In the past, they presented more than one candidate according to an agreement from both sides, but today they have reached a bone fracture, and it is possible that the choice of the president will be in the second round; but the danger is what if he is not elected in both rounds?" . 
Al-Atwani concluded, "
It is noteworthy that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Muhammad al-Halbousi, has set Saturday, March 26, as the date for the House of Representatives session to elect the President of the Republic.
The head of the National State Forces Alliance, Mr. Al-Hakim, during his speech at the National Alliance Conference of Faili Kurds on Saturday, warned against turning the presidential election session into a breaking session between the parties.
Mr. Al-Hakim said, "The state is not managed by arm and bone breakage, but by dialogue, understanding, integration and giving priority to the public interest over private interests," stressing the "importance of adopting a single rule in dealing with the forces wishing to participate in the next government," noting that "balance is a precursor to stability."

Next Parliament session in numbers

2022.03.22 - 20:23

Dagher Munqith

  

There has been much talk about the relative numbers and weights of the framework blocs and the Triple Alliance. Will the first be able to break the quorum by a disabled third (110 deputies), or will the second be able to hold the session in the presence of (220 deputies)?! In order to put the numbers in front of the public to judge for themselves, I have listed below the number of members of each parliamentary bloc according to the advertiser (and not the secret agreements that I do not know).  

 

  

 

To begin with, the election of the President of the Republic does not necessarily require a two-thirds majority, but that two-thirds of the deputies must attend the session, whether they voted or not. Therefore, the battle revolves around a quorum, not a vote. As soon as the quorum is achieved, the candidate of the tripartite alliance will most likely pass. According to the official (repeat) announced results, the total of the framework forces plus the National Union is 76 deputies, and there are 5-10 other deputies from individual blocs very close to the framework. In the sense that the total of the framework's deputies and its allies will reach 80-85 deputies.  

That is, they still need 25-30 deputies to break the quorum. As for the Triple Alliance, the total of its official seats in Parliament is 155, plus 10-15 other representatives who are close to them and are affiliated with the small individual blocs or the independents. Thus, they need the presence of 30 other deputies to achieve the quorum.  

Meaning that both teams need to win at least 30 deputies. Although the picture appears almost clear on both sides of the conflict, the oscillating center region does not appear as such. There are 50-60 MPs that we know nothing about and they seem vacillating.  

These are the ones who will be the weighing egg. Logically, these swingers do not appear to be ideologues, and therefore they can be won in any direction, even though they are more vulnerable to the pressures of the masses and the media. But everyone should realize that the policy of delaying or prolonging and betting on time is a very dangerous policy, especially in light of the continued deterioration of economic conditions, which are expected to worsen globally and not only locally.  

Ramadan is coming, and then General (Saif), so settle your affairs before the real battle begins, which is waged by the people on one side and the parties on the other.  

An important note: The media discourse and the ability of each party to mobilize all its deputies, whether to attend or not, will be the most decisive factors in my opinion.

He added, "The number of deputies in the coordination framework exceeds 120, and it is committed to dialogue and the positive message that confirms the country's administration. It cannot be crossed arms and breaking wills, and today we count on such a challenge after the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, invited the independents to attend the Saturday session in order to achieve quorum".  

Al-Zamili added, "We believe that independents and non-independents will break the quorum of this session, and going to hold it will be a political risk and a real crisis after the session."  

  

He continued, "In both cases, we extend our hands in order to stabilize the political process and have not boycotted contact with the movement until the moment. As for going with this option, Mr. Sadr's position will be difficult in the future, and the position of politicians will be volatile, and the framework called for the supreme national interest for political and social stability."  

  

The head of the Al-Fateh parliamentary bloc concluded, "The biggest loser in the Saturday session is the current and the framework, whatever its outcomes. The winner is considered a loser."

He added, "I still see that we can impose our will on all parties, because we are the egg that weighs the balance of one of the two groups over the other, and that in our hands, neither Omar nor Zaid, all the keys to forming a government, the equal division between the two teams is still continuing and existing."  

  

He also pointed out that "luck is a short-term debt, and the opportunity for independent representatives to get the country out of the old cycle of quotas and failure may be lost due to a miscalculation and zeroing in on oneself under the pretext of impartiality, and I will not accept anything less than the fact that the prime minister is independent, acceptable to the people, and forms the government without The foundations of the old quotas, and I will not accept to be part of passing agreements about which the people know nothing, and I will remain adhering to my declared position, either the government will lead an independent candidate whom we the independents will nominate, or I will be in the opposition as an individual or within a group, and I was and will not be zero on the north of any issue ".

Is not to be a reason to disrupt the session."    

  

He pointed out that "it is a national responsibility to go to nominate an independent national figure if everyone really wants to go to form an independent government, because this conflict will lead the country to further collapse."    

  

He explained that "as part of our dialogue in the House of Representatives, we insisted towards independent representatives who will not participate in the government, they should be members of the sovereign parliamentary committees."    

  

The Secretary-General of the Emtlaad Movement said, "The consensual governments are a cause of corruption and waste a lot of money and many of the previous interrogation sessions were for blackmail."
