Today, Monday, the State of Law coalition revealed a new agreement between the coordination framework and the Sunni component regarding the date of submitting the name of the candidate for the presidency of Parliament, while indicating the possibility of choosing one person.
The leader of the coalition, Saad Al-Muttalabi, said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “There is an agreement with the Sunni component to officially present the candidate for the presidency of the House of Representatives within seven days.”
He added, “The candidate will be presented to the coordination framework for the purpose of studying the personality and voting on it,” stressing that “there is no relationship between the provincial council elections and the selection of the new Speaker of Parliament, as it is the entitlement of the Sunni component.”
The leader of the Maliki coalition explains, “The Sunnis are responsible for presenting a candidate, agreed upon among the members of the parties and forces of the same component, either by unanimous vote or following the 50+1 mechanism, and he is presented to the coordination framework to be voted on as well.”
Al-Muttalabi stated, “There are preliminary agreements on choosing one personality, but so far he has not obtained a Sunni majority,” noting that “if the Sunni forces are able to reach a specific agreement on a personality during these days, the name will be presented to the House of Representatives.”
He stressed: “There is a very high possibility that one personality will be chosen by the Sunni parties.”
Earlier today, a member of the Democratic Party parliamentary bloc, Mahma Khalil, called on the Sunni political forces to expedite the selection of their candidate for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The Federal Supreme Court had previously decided to terminate the membership of the ousted Speaker of the House of Representatives, Muhammad al-Halbousi, based on a forgery lawsuit filed by Representative Laith al-Dulaimi.
