A member of the Coordination Framework, Uday Abdul-Hadi, confirmed today, Thursday (January 1, 2026), that the Framework’s forces will hold an important meeting at the beginning of next week to discuss several issues, most notably reaching an agreement on a candidate to be nominated for the next government.
Abdul-Hadi said in a press interview that “the number of candidates for this position has been reduced to three names at the moment,” indicating that “until now it is not possible to determine the identity of the candidate for the next prime minister, given the differing views among the forces of the Coordination Framework.”
He added that “the next meeting may bring viewpoints closer, and may result in an agreement on a specific figure, but in any case, surprises are possible.”
The debate is escalating within the coordination framework regarding the shape of the next political phase and the distribution of decision-making centers among its main forces, especially with the announcement by the Reconstruction and Development Coalition of its adherence to the right to nominate the current Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, for a second term, in contrast to the introduction of other names within the framework seeking an opportunity to lead the government scene.
The issue of the premiership also intersects with the outcomes of the session to elect the Speaker of Parliament and his two deputies, and the accompanying balances between the Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish forces, which makes next week’s meeting within the coordination framework a pivotal point in shaping the features of the executive authority for the next term.
