The leader of the Hasm coalition, Dhari al-Dulaimi, revealed on Sunday that there were pressures from political forces to force MP Salem al-Issawi to withdraw from the competition for the position of Speaker of Parliament in favor of MP Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, stressing that al-Issawi still rejects those pressures.
Al-Dulaimi said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “Some political blocs from different directions are currently exerting pressure on MP Salem Al-Issawi to give up his candidacy for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives in favor of MP Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani.”
He added, “These pressures have not succeeded so far, and Al-Issawi is still determined to continue competing without succumbing to these pressures.”
The former Speaker of Parliament, Salim al-Jabouri, confirmed in a television interview followed by / Al-Maalouma /, that there is a fear that the pressure for Salem al-Issawi to withdraw will be followed by pressure for Mahmoud al-Mashhadani to withdraw in order to empty the list of candidates and go to present a new name.
