Information / Baghdad ..
The State of Law Coalition revealed, on Monday, its intention to nominate one vice-president of the republic during the coming period, while indicating that the president of the coalition or whoever will nominate him will be a vice-president.
The leader of the coalition, Jassem Muhammad Jaafar, said in a statement to Al-Maalouma, “The Iraqi constitution did not specify the number of deputies to the president of the republic, but it stipulated that the president of the republic should have one or more deputies.”
Jaafar added, “The current stage requires naming one vice-president,” noting that “multiple vice-presidents do not work because the position is considered symbolic.”
He explained, “The State of Law coalition is the one who nominates the first vice president of the republic,” noting that “the deputy will be the head of the coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, or he chooses a replacement for him.”
Jaafar pointed out that “if an agreement is reached on a Sunni vice president, two Shiite deputies will be named according to the balance.”
