A year after the October 10, 2021, legislative elections and the ensuing political impasse, the Iraqi parliament votes today, Thursday, to support the new administration and its agenda.
After giving Muhammad Shi’a Al-Sudani the job of organising the incoming government, the country experienced a serious political crisis that lasted for more than a year.
The official Iraqi News Agency yesterday, Wednesday, published a formal document issued by the Parliament.
According to the Iraqi constitution, the administration and its policies must be supported by the voices of the absolute majority of the country’s deputies, or one in every two. According to Article 76 of the Constitution, the government is confident, “when approves the ministers individually and the ministerial curriculum by an absolute majority.
However, given that it backed the “State Administration Coalition,” it is anticipated that this government will enjoy smooth confidence (includes the cabinet parties in the country except for the Sadrist movement). Former Prime Minister Nuri al -Maliki and the Al -Fateh bloc represented by the factions of the popular crowd loyal to Iran, which nominated the Sudanese for the position with its allies in the state administration coalition.
Along with the coordination framework, which controls 138 of the 329 deputies, the “State Administration” coalition also consists of the two major Kurdish parties, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party, as well as the Sunni “sovereignty” coalition led by Muhammad Al-Halbousi.
It is interesting to note that on October 13, the Sudanese (52 years old), a governor and former minister who is rising through the ranks of the traditional Shiite political class, was charged with the government by the newly elected President of the Republic, Abdul Latif Rashid, shortly after his election.
Since his assignment, he continued his negotiations to resolve the distribution of positions between the political forces and distribute them between blocs, sects and components, i. e.
Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds, according to quotas as is common in Iraq, provided that the Shiites hold the majority of the ministries and the Sunnis and Kurds share the remaining positions.
Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr, who was the coordinating framework’s biggest foe, declared he would not serve in the next administration.
In a late-night tweet yesterday, he also blamed the country’s warp on Shiite political forces, citing the Fesa, quota, and other crises that call for the creation of the state’s fundamentals.
A pivotal location. The new government is decided by the Iraqi Parliament.
