The reason for postponing the vote on the cabinet today has been revealed
Former MP Abdul Hadi Al-Saadawi revealed on Sunday the reasons for postponing the vote on the cabinet in the House of Representatives, attributing this to the failure of some political blocs to decide on their candidates for ministerial portfolios, which led to the inability to vote on the government formation today.
Al-Saadawi told Al-Furat News Agency, “It was likely that the Al-Zidi government would be given confidence today in the House of Representatives after all preparations were completed; however, the vote was postponed as a result of some political blocs not deciding on their candidates for the ministries.”
He added that "it is too early to announce the completion of the cabinet due to the existence of disagreements between the political blocs," indicating that "the absence of a fully empowered government is having a negative impact on the country."
Al-Saadawi pointed out that "there are major obstacles facing the prime minister-designate, even from within the coordination framework and the rest of the national space, which requires more consultation and effort to convince the blocs to proceed with presenting the cabinet and voting on it within the House of Representatives."
He pointed out that "Al-Zidi has a strong incentive to complete his cabinet through consultation and understanding with various political forces."
Regarding the challenges facing the new government, Al-Saadawi explained that "the first of these is the financial file," expecting "its move towards raising the exchange rate of the dinar to reduce the deficit in the 2026 budget," considering "this a difficult decision in addition to the security challenges in the region, especially the American-Iranian war and the repercussions it imposes on the country."
He concluded by saying that "the next government needs a clear economic and security vision to keep Iraq away from the region's conflicts." link
