Shafaq News/ The State of Law Coalition, led by Nouri al-Maliki, expected, on Monday, that Mohsen al-Mandalawi would continue as head of the Iraqi Council of Representatives until the end of the current (fifth) parliamentary session.
The leader of the coalition, Saad Al-Mutalibi, told Shafaq News Agency, “The differences between the Sunni political forces are still ongoing and are without solutions, especially since the file of electing the Speaker of Parliament cannot be resolved without an agreement between Mohammed Al-Halbousi and Khamis Al-Khanjar, and there is no agreement between the two parties until now.”
Al-Mutalibi added, “According to all the data, things are moving towards keeping Mohsen Al-Mandalawi as the head of the Iraqi Council of Representatives until the end of the current parliamentary session, and no new speaker of parliament can be elected, as there is no Sunni-Sunni agreement to resolve the issue.”
The political forces have not been able to elect a new parliament speaker since the termination of Mohammed al-Halbousi’s membership in November 2023 due to disagreements, while the Coordination Framework set July 20 as the date to resolve Sunni disagreements over this file, without any commitment to the date.
