Shafaq News/ After a number of objections, the curtain came down on the election results, and the door of appeals was closed with them, so the political movement moved this time towards the “largest bloc” in preparation for forming the next government.

While the State of Law coalition led by Nuri al-Maliki is counting on the dialogue between the delegation of the coordination framework and the Sadrist bloc led by Muqtada al-Sadr, which is scheduled within days, an informed source close to al-Hanana (Sadr’s residence in Najaf) confirms that the most numerous parliamentary bloc to be formed may not It includes all Shiite forces on the grounds that some of the parties to the framework reject the government program set by the bloc to form the next government.

He added that “in the event that most of the framework forces do not agree with the Sadrist bloc, the latter has semi-final understandings to enter into strategic alliances with the (Progress) coalition led by Muhammad al-Halbousi, along with the Kurdistan Democratic Party led by Massoud Barzani, in addition to the joining of independent deputies and some convinced framework forces. With the (Sadrists) program, and thus they will form the largest bloc, and then they will form the government comfortably.”

The source pointed out that “the framework forces are trying to pressure the Sadrist bloc to ease its negotiating conditions in exchange for entering into a united Shiite front, including choosing the prime minister by consensus, not opening corruption files and holding those involved in it accountable.”

He continued, “An upcoming meeting will bring together Al-Sadr and Al-Amiri, and the latter may represent his alliance only in negotiations,” noting that “the distribution of ministerial positions and portfolios according to electoral weight, not partisanship, and that the chances of granting a second term to Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi do not exceed 20%, and that the surprise Present in all the details, perhaps even the last moments of the decision to name the government.”

On the other hand, the spokesman for the State of Law coalition, Bahaa Al-Nouri, noted that after the Federal Court ratified the election results, the political blocs and forces “are bound by the constitutional deadlines, which require them to resolve their alliances and form the largest bloc, within 15 days from the date of announcing the ratification of the results.” .

Al-Nouri told Shafaq News Agency, “The committees formed by the framework for negotiation with the political parties will hold their meeting with the Sadrist bloc to resolve the issue of forming the largest bloc and agree on dividing roles according to electoral maturity,” stressing that “the new phase that began with the announcement of the Federal Court’s approval of the results. It will make the negotiations clearer and more committed to the meaning of the negotiations between the framework and the Sadrists. Either it will come out with the agreement of the two parties to form the largest bloc, or it will fail in that, then the most numerous bloc will go towards forming the largest bloc and then forming the government.”

For his part, the leader of the State of Law, Kataa Al-Rikabi, revealed that the coordination framework has moved to form the (largest bloc) in preparation for the formation of a national consensus government with the participation of all political parties.

Al-Rikabi told Shafaq News Agency, “The delegation of the coordination framework headed by Nuri al-Maliki met the Sunni and Kurdish parties, and he will also meet with the Sadrist movement very soon.”

He added: “In the coming days, we will witness the formation of the largest bloc within the parliament that includes Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish forces, in preparation for the formation of a government (national consensus) with the participation of all political parties without excluding any of them,” noting that “the majority that the brothers in the Sadrist bloc call for, the situation is not It is ready for its formation, and it will require the participation of a part of the Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, and the other parties will remain outside the government.”

Al-Rikabi concluded his speech by saying that “there are three basic entitlements, which are the presidency of the republic, parliament and ministers, and there should be agreement on them before the first session of parliament.”

The Federal Court settled a controversy that lasted about three months about the legitimacy and credibility of the election results, which were questioned by many of the losing blocs, most notably the Shiite coordination framework blocs, whose masses went out with demonstrations that quickly turned into an open sit-in at the gates of the Green Zone.

With the court’s approval, the announced results remained unchanged, as the Sadrist bloc led by Muqtada al-Sadr won 73 seats, followed by the “Progress” coalition led by Muhammad al-Halbousi with 37 seats, then the State of Law coalition led by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki with 33 seats, then the Kurdistan Democratic Party led by Massoud Barzani with 31 seats.
