The Iraqi political scene is witnessing a state of controversy regarding the process of completing the cabinet, amid differing positions among parliamentary blocs and widening disagreements among political forces.
In this context, MP Abu Turab al-Tamimi, a leader in the Badr parliamentary bloc, indicated today, Friday (June 19, 2026), that there are political obstacles that prevented the voting process on the cabinet from proceeding during the last sessions, considering that what is happening reflects an entanglement of interests and calculations between the various parties.
Al-Tamimi said in a press statement that “the Shiites have their own calculations, as some worked to prevent the Shiite ministers from being approved in the cabinet session,” asking: “How do the leaders of the blocs, who sat in the highest seats of parliament and saw the MPs they brought, see how they worked to obstruct the session, and thus the session passed without completing the cabinet, and the reason is the existence of calculations between the political forces outside the will of the MPs, as the one who leads is the head of the party and the head of the bloc, not the MP.”
Al-Tamimi predicted that “the government will remain in place for a period without being completed, because the political will prevents that, otherwise the talk was about completing the vote on the cabinet after the holiday, and therefore what happened is different.”
These statements come amid repeated setbacks in passing the cabinet within the Iraqi parliament, as a result of disagreements between political blocs over the distribution of portfolios and positions.
Partisan and sectarian considerations often interfere with the legislative process, leading to the postponement or disruption of decisive sessions, at a time when the public is waiting for the government formation to be completed to ensure the stability of executive performance.
