News from Al-Madinah: While a parliamentary meeting was scheduled for Saturday to vote on the Iraqi government’s new cabinet structure, it appears that meeting was postponed due to disagreements over sharing baggage.
While the Prime Minister -designate Muhammad Shi’a Al -Sudani affirmed his continuation in discussions with the common political blocs, and to hold interviews with the candidates of these forces for ministerial positions in the next coalition government.
In a statement released today, Sunday, his office further highlighted that a specialist committee led by Sudanese consultants conducts the interviews of the candidates.
In addition, he made note that the official announcement of the candidates who had been selected to assume the role would happen after the interviews, in order to guarantee the security of their position with regard to the legal issues and to choose the day of the confidence vote in the parliament.
The alliance of the major parties in the country, which was called the “State Administration Coalition”, announced on Tuesday, its intention to invite the House of Representatives to hold a Saturday session to vote on the government in its entirety.
However, despite legislative sources confirming that the vote may happen tomorrow, Monday, this did not occur.
Despite the fact that there are reports of various disagreements between political parties and parties on the distribution of seats and ministerial portfolios, the Sudanese statement today released veiled signals that the “ministerial cook” has not yet ripened.
In a nation like Iraq, where power is challenged by parties and armed factions, it is well known that the creation of administrations is not an easy task and frequently involves tours of settlement arrivals.
It is notable that the Sudanese promised to provide a strong government last week after Abdul Latif Rashid, the President of the Republic, gave him that responsibility.
While the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al -Sadr, launched a sharp criticism against him, considering that the Sudanese began to constitute a “militia coalition government”. On the 15th of this month, he issued a warning against any of his supporters joining the coalition government that the coordination framework—the enemy—is supporting.
After months of delays, disputes, and the resignation of Sadr’s delegates, Parliament was finally chosen to lead the nation on October 13.
Since last year, Iraq has witnessed a political crisis between the Sadrist movement and the “coordination framework” (which includes the State of Law coalition led by Nuri al -Maliki, the Al -Fateh alliance, and other factions loyal to Iran), which until last week prevented the election of a president of the republic or the formation of a government.

The declaration of the Iraqi government has been delayed, and the Sudanese have provided explanation.
