Political analyst Qasim al-Tamimi ruled out on Thursday the completion of the cabinet formation before Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington, attributing this to the ongoing disagreements among political parties regarding candidates for the remaining ministerial posts.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Maalouma, “Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi intends to visit the United States in the coming days of this month, and it is unlikely that the cabinet formation will be completed before this visit.”
He added, “The political parties, across their various blocs, have not yet reached an agreement on candidates for the remaining ministerial portfolios. No understandings or agreed-upon names have been announced to be presented to Parliament for a vote.”
He pointed out that “the continued disagreements regarding the completion of the cabinet may open the door to foreign interference in deciding the remaining ministerial posts, especially during al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington, as such interference is likely to be present in the Iraqi political landscape.”
