Current political data and ongoing agreements between various parties, particularly within the Coordination Framework, indicate the possibility of forming a new government after the November elections more smoothly than before, free from the usual political turmoil and disagreements that have characterized the scene since 2003. Expectations are that the next government will emerge from within the Coordination Framework, through a consensus among its main forces, replicating the current government formation scenario, while remaining unclear regarding the identity of the next prime minister.
Mahmoud Al-Hayani, a member of the Fatah Alliance, told Al-Maalouma, “The current data on the ground gives clear indications that the formation of the next government will be faster than in the past, as existing alliances will lead to a change in the political landscape in terms of tactics and plans, despite the ongoing controversy over the identity of the new prime minister.” He added, “The next phase may witness the emergence of new alliances that achieve a political majority, from which the government and ministerial cabinet will emerge, as was the practice in the previous elections.”
For his part, Naseem Abdullah, a member of the Iqtidar Movement’s political bureau, confirmed to Al-Maalouma that “each parliamentary session in Iraq is different from the next, especially when it comes to choosing a prime minister. The circumstances surrounding Maliki’s appointment differed from those of Abadi, Abdul-Mahdi, and al-Sudani.” He emphasized that “the final decision regarding the selection of the next prime minister will be in the hands of the Coordination Framework forces, in accordance with the political and parliamentary circumstances that will emerge after the upcoming elections.”
In contrast, political analyst Athir al-Sharaa contradicted these expectations, asserting that “the upcoming elections will be different from previous ones, because Iraq and the region are passing through a critical juncture, and there are major regional shifts that will be reflected internally in Iraq.” He added that “the formation of the next government may undergo a difficult labor before its birth, and the worst thing that the framework may face is keeping al-Sudani as prime minister, despite the reservations of most of its leaders. However, this may be forced upon it if it is not possible to agree on an alternative candidate.”
Al-Sharaa explained that “the next phase may witness the birth of a blocking third that will produce a government capable of preserving the gains achieved by the political forces in previous phases, especially since all components do not want to lose what has been achieved.”
