Shafaq News/ Well-informed political sources revealed a high-caliber surprise, represented by the joining of one of the coordinating framework forces to an alliance with the Sadrist bloc, after the Federal Supreme Court rejected the “framework” lawsuit regarding the largest parliamentary bloc that will be tasked with forming the government.
The sources told Shafaq News Agency, on condition that their names not be mentioned, that one of the coordinating framework forces will announce in the coming hours its alliance with the Sadrist bloc, pointing out that the announcement is waiting for two things, the first is a tweet from al-Sadr that will indicate that, and the other is a meeting of the framework forces to be held this evening.
She added, “This step came from the initiative of Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani.”
The sources pointed out that “the party that will join the Sadrist bloc is collectively composed of 25 seats, including independents.
The commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Ismail Qaani, made two visits to Iraq last month, in an attempt to bridge the rift between the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, and the forces of the coordination framework.
But al-Sadr stuck to his position calling for the formation of a national majority government, stressing the exclusion of the leader of the State of Law coalition Nuri al-Maliki from participating in it.
Al-Sadr blames Al-Maliki, who headed the government for two consecutive terms (2006-2014), for rampant corruption and acts of violence in the country, in addition to the ISIS invasion of a third of Iraq in the summer of 2014.
The Sadrist bloc topped the October 10 elections, with 73 seats, followed by the Progress Alliance with 37, the State of Law coalition with 33, and the Kurdistan Democratic Party with 31.
Al-Sadr seeks to form a national majority government, unlike the rest of the coordinating framework forces, which demand a consensual government in which all political forces in Parliament participate, similar to previous sessions.
