It was constitutionally supposed to appoint a new candidate within 15 days of The date of the resignation. We were very late from the appointment and were not commissioned except in the beginning of February when Professor Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi was assigned, which shows the crisis of the political process, but rather the crisis of the constitutional powers and institutions entrusted with this matter.

Because the lack of success in achieving this and the failure of political forces to reach a decisive solution in this file yet Almost 3 months after the resignation of the government may expose the country to a more serious crisis. ”
