, a member of the Kurdistan regional negotiating delegation, Dia Boutros, Thursday (February 27, 2020), confirmed that the recent meetings with Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi ended without reaching a result, while he made a request paving the way for voting on his booth.
And Peter said in an interview with (Baghdad Today), that “Allawi insists on the same mechanism in choosing ministers and in the issue of dealing with the Kurdistan region, and this complicates the issue,” noting that “matters in the next 48 hours require him flexibility to proceed with the voting process on the cabin Ministerial and all the contract is removed. ”
He added that “Allawi must consult the Kurds in choosing the ministerial positions assigned to them, and there are problems on the issue of budget and salaries of employees, etc., which he pledged during the initial meetings to resolve them.”
And Peter pointed out that “the Kurdish delegation will remain in Baghdad and will have new meetings with Allawi and other political blocs. In the event that Allawi does not appear flexible in the negotiation, things will remain as they are even after 48 hours have passed before the vote on his booth.”
On Thursday, February 27, 2020, MP Ahmad Al-Saffar revealed 3 points of contention between the Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Allawi and the Kurdish blocs prevented a comprehensive agreement between them.
“The differences of the Kurdish blocs with Allawi focused on the region’s share of the budget, the Peshmerga allocations and the mechanism for selecting ministers,” Al-Saffar was quoted as saying by the official news agency.
A parliamentary source said, earlier today, that the Kurdish forces ’meeting with the designated Prime Minister, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, ended without reaching an agreement.

Earlier, a Kurdish political source revealed, on Thursday (February 27, 2020), that the delegation of the Kurdish blocs negotiating in Baghdad entered a meeting with Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi to negotiate the latter on several points, before the session of granting confidence.
The source said in an interview with (Baghdad Today), “The Kurdish delegation called for Allawi to be the ministries of finance and trade, from the Kurdish share, in consultation with the Democratic Party, and the Ministry of Justice in consultation with the National Union.”
