An informed source revealed on Wednesday that dozens of MPs from the Reconstruction and Development bloc threatened to withdraw if Ihsan Al-Awadi is nominated for the premiership .
The source told Shafaq News Agency that “30 MPs threatened to leave the Reconstruction and Development bloc if Ihsan Al-Awadi is nominated for the premiership by the head of the coalition, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani .”
The coordinating framework had failed to agree on a candidate for prime minister during two meetings held last Saturday and Monday, so the decision was postponed until Wednesday .
It is noted that the government formation process has entered a critical phase, following the election of Nizar Amidi as President of the Republic, which puts the major bloc before a constitutional deadline ending on April 26 to officially present its candidate, amid fears of returning to the first square of political deadlock .
Sources reported in recent days that the current Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, put forward the name of Ihsan al-Awadi as a candidate for the premiership, in contrast to the State of Law Coalition putting forward the name of al-Badri .
