Kurdistan Democratic Party member Haitham Al-Mayahi confirmed that the Iraqi political scene is witnessing fundamental transformations with the departure of prominent figures from the circle of influence, indicating that the next stage will produce new equations in alliances and power arrangements.
Al-Mayahi told Al-Maalouma that he felt “relieved” by the departure of both Mohammed Al-Halbousi and Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, describing it as “the end of the era of the two Mohammeds,” which he considered had not fulfilled the aspirations of the Iraqi public at the level of administration and state-building.
He added that “the Sudanese was not a maker of leaders nor a founder of a state project, but rather he was content with managing limited service projects, such as building roads and laying pipelines, without possessing a comprehensive strategic vision that would restore the prestige of the state and its institutions,” as he put it.
Al-Mayahi indicated that the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, may move during the next stage to nominate an alternative figure for the premiership, in light of the changes within the Shiite political establishment, and attempts to rearrange the cards within the coordination framework in line with internal and regional changes.
Regarding the relationship between the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Shiite forces, Al-Mayahi explained that the relationship with Al-Maliki and the coordination framework is “very good,” and is based on political understandings and common interests, noting that the next stage requires more flexible alliances away from the logic of exclusion.
He concluded by saying that “the return of al-Sudani to the premiership after leaving office is virtually impossible,” emphasizing that the political climate, both inside and outside parliament, no longer accepts the recycling of the same faces, given the escalating public pressure and calls for change.
