The largest bloc was born from within the Coordination Framework, as announced yesterday evening, Monday, in an official statement, with the participation of all the blocs affiliated with the framework, including the Sudanese Coalition. This made the picture clearer about the shape and map of the political process for the next stage. Despite the framework announcing the largest bloc, there is political talk confirming the rejection by the parties of the framework of the Sudanese assuming the premiership again, for several reasons, including his attendance at the normalization conference in Sharm El-Sheikh and other positions in which he distanced himself from the Coordination Framework.
The head of the Wujud Movement, Muhammad Abu Saeeda, told Al-Maalouma that “the leaders of the Coordination Framework are striving to form a majority government in the next government in cooperation with the political parties from the other components. However, Al-Sudani is stalling with the Coordination Framework in order to renew his mandate once again, as Al-Maliki and some of the political parties within the framework oppose renewing Al-Sudani’s mandate. In addition, the majority rejects renewing his mandate for several reasons, most notably his visit to Egypt for the Sharm El-Sheikh summit and his signing of deals with Jordan and Egypt, and the way he dealt with some events that made him unacceptable.” He added that “there are internal positions of Al-Sudani that made him unacceptable for a second term, most notably spending large sums on investment projects without consulting the leaders of the Coordination Framework and stating the amount of these sums, in addition to spending large sums of money on the election campaign, and the tense political atmosphere between him and the other parties of the framework. All of these combined made him unacceptable for a second term.”
For his part, Hussein al-Karawi, head of the Coordinating Committee for the Popular Movement for the Belt and Road, told Al-Maalouma that “al-Sudani sought to gain the favor of the American side and open the door for Saudi Arabia to invest after the passage of a law related to this in Parliament, in addition to other normalization projects. Opening the door to receive Rafe al-Rifai and his return to the country is driven by electoral motives, even though this person was behind the sectarian incitement, as his return represents an affront to the blood of the martyrs and a disregard for their lives.” He pointed out that “al-Sudani is seeking, through his actions, to win a second term by getting closer to the American side and concluding secret agreements with some countries, despite the existence of a political trend that rejects the re-emergence of this figure in power again.”
Meanwhile, the Coordination Framework announced the formation of the largest bloc, comprised of all its constituent entities, in accordance with constitutional procedures. It also announced its intention to proceed with nominating a prime minister for the next phase. In a statement received by Al-Maalomah, the framework decided to form two leadership committees: the first to discuss national priorities for the next phase and develop a unified vision for the requirements of governing the state, and the second to interview candidates for the position of prime minister according to professional and national criteria. The meeting also discussed at length the criteria adopted for selecting the prime minister, in addition to the nature of the required government program, ensuring it aligns with the political, economic, and service-related challenges facing Iraq and fulfills citizens’ aspirations for reform, stability, and development.
