[sessi]

Baghdad, Aug. 30 (AKnews) – A member in the Iraqi National Alliance (INA) said on Monday that the list will continue its consultations to choose a single candidate for the prime minister's post and it will be submitted to the State of Law Coalition (SLC).

Wael Abdul-Latif said the two nominated candidates for the prime minister’s post are Ibrahim al-Jaafari and Ahmad Chalabi, at the end of Monday’s meeting one of the two will be named.

“The INA agrees for the SLC to nominate another candidate other than Nouri al-Maliki,” said Latif.

Negotiations between SLC and the INA were resumed after its withhold for one month, because the SLC insisted on nominating Maliki for the prime minister’s post, a decision refused by the INA.

More than five months after parliamentary elections, Iraqi political forces have not been able to reach an agreement yet.

The major disagreements are over the distribution of the top three state positions, the prime minister, president and parliament
