On Monday, MP Ali Anhir Al-Sarai announced his withdrawal from the “Reconstruction and Development” bloc led by former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, confirming that he will continue to work as an independent MP within the House of Representatives.
Al-Sarai said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, “Based on the freedom of thought and political action and the need to prioritize the public interest, I announce my withdrawal from the Reconstruction and Development Bloc and will work as an independent MP who does not belong to any political party.”
He added that during the current phase he will focus on serving all the people of the country, away from the atmosphere of political tension and the implications of political competition,” as he put it.
This development comes after a series of withdrawals from the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, most notably the withdrawal last week of the National Contract Bloc, affiliated with the head of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Faleh al-Fayyad, and the Sumerians Movement, headed by former Labor Minister Ahmed al-Asadi, “against the backdrop of what happened in terms of clear circumvention of political and organizational agreements, and breach of the covenants and agreements that were agreed upon, as well as the adoption of methods of exclusion and marginalization against a number of representatives of the people, according to what was stated in the statement of the two blocs.”
It is worth noting that MP Ammar Youssef had previously announced his withdrawal from the coalition, while simultaneously confirming his continued participation in the National Contract Alliance headed by Faleh al-Fayyad.
