Shafaq News/ An informed source revealed the details of the meeting of the coordination framework of the Shiite blocs, which was held this Friday afternoon.
The source told Shafak News Agency; The meeting witnessed the discussion of the Sadrist bloc’s candidate, Jaafar al-Sadr, and the mechanism of passing it in one basket.
He added that the coordinating framework postponed making the final decision until a direct meeting was held with Al-Sadr, which will be determined very soon and after consultation also through a call or an envoy of Al-Hanana.
The source indicated; That the meeting did not object to Jaafar al-Sadr assuming the position of prime minister, but rather supported it.
He pointed out that al-Maliki called al-Sadr after the meeting to inform him of the developments, and in light of that, al-Sadr will be in Baghdad within 72 hours, and he does not rule out coming tomorrow to meet with the framework.
The source continued; That contacts and discussions will continue tonight between the Shiite leaders to speed up the pace of the agreement and end the issue of dialogue to form the next government.
source added; Parties in the coordinating framework have proposed the name of al-Maliki to be a deputy prime minister in the next government.
The Shiite Coordination Framework held a meeting earlier today, Friday, at Hadi Al-Amiri’s house, a day after Muqtada Al-Sadr’s phone talks with Nuri Al-Maliki, which melted the ice of the rift between the framework and the Sadrist movement, which caused the passage of the new government to falter.
A political source told Shafaq News Agency, that the meeting will be attended by Al-Maliki and leaders in the framework, to discuss the details of the phone call with Al-Sadr, and subsequent developments in the political scene.
An informed political source revealed the details of the political developments that took place on Thursday evening, which witnessed the breaking of the political isolation between the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, and the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, who constitutes one of the poles of the coordination framework.
