Sadr calls on independent members of the Iraqi parliament to form a government

According to Fars News Agency’s International Service, Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadr faction, issued a statement this evening (Wednesday) regarding the formation of the Iraqi government.

“After consulting with the allies in the majority coalition, I say: There are three parties involved in the current political process: first sideThe National Majority Coalition (Muqtada al-Sadr Coalition) is the guardian of the national majority. “But the Iraqi judiciary’s decision to activate the ‘one-third decisive’ option delayed the formation of the majority government.”

One-third of the decisive point refers to the ruling of the Iraqi Federal Court, according to which the Iraqi House of Representatives cannot convene without the presence of one third of its members. The Iraqi Shiite Coordinating Committee, known as the “Coordination Framework,” makes up more than a third of the Iraqi parliament.

Muqtada al-Sadr continued: “The second side“The ‘coordination framework’ that calls for a coalition government … We gave the group forty days and they failed to form a coalition government.”

Sadr added: “Third party: Independent members of parliament .. We ask them to [گروهی] “They should form an independent group of at least forty people, and this group should not include a coordination framework in which they used their opportunity.”

“Independents must join the majority coalition to form an independent government,” the Sadr leader said in a statement. We will inform them about other details later, and the majority coalition, including the Sadr faction, will vote for their government after reaching an agreement with the Sunnis and Kurds. And flow [صدر] “It will not share in the ministers of this government.”

However, he set a condition, saying, “In order to speed up the end of the people’s problems, provided that this process takes place within a maximum of fifteen days.”

In the end, Sadr also called on the Coordinating Committee of Iraqi Shiite Groups, known as the Coordination Framework, to join the Sadr faction to form a coalition to end the political stalemate in Iraq.

Muqtada al-Sadr was in early April, just before the start of the holy month of Ramadan, in a statement that he and his allies form the majority faction and win the Iraqi elections. Sadr added that he was the first person to form a majority faction (Anqaz al-Watan) and nominate a plausible candidate for prime minister.

The leader of the Sadr faction stressed that in order for Iraq not to be left without a government, and given the deteriorating security, economic and service situation, he would give a decisive third, from the first day of Ramadan to the 9th of Shawwal, the opportunity to form a government with all currents. The national majority should talk without Sadr. He also asked members of the Sadr faction not to have any negative or positive involvement in this matter.

Reacting to the deadline, Ahmad al-Musawi, a spokesman for the Iraqi Shiite Coordination Framework, said it was unlikely that an agreement could be reached with Sunni forces, Kurds and some Shiite factions to form a future government. “Sunnis and going to a coalition with them to form a government will not result in anything other than repeating the scenario of the defeat of the Sadr movement and the tripartite coalition.”

According to political analysts and observers, Muqtada al-Sadr witnessed a clear backlash from some members of the tripartite coalition during the second presidential election, putting him in a political dilemma.
