“A SECOND TERM THROUGH THE GATEWAY OF STABILITY”: THE STATE OF LAW COALITION SUPPORTS RENEWING CONFIDENCE IN AL-SUDANI FOR “THE BENEFIT OF IRAQ” – URGENT
On Monday (January 5, 2026), MP Jassim Al-Alawi, from the State of Law Coalition, affirmed his support for renewing Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani’s term for a second term, stressing that this choice stems from the supreme interest of Iraq and the preservation of political and service stability.
Al-Alawi told Baghdad Today that “the stage that Iraq is going through requires the continuation of the current governmental approach, especially in light of the relative security stability achieved and the improvement in some service and economic files,” indicating that “Al-Sudani is a successful man with great experience and an electoral mandate, and he has proven during his current term a clear ability to manage the state and deal with complex challenges.”
He added that “renewing confidence in the Prime Minister for a second term will contribute to completing the strategic projects launched by the government, and will prevent disrupting the political scene by entering into conflicts or uncalculated changes,” stressing that “the State of Law believes that the interest of Iraq takes precedence over any political or partisan considerations.”
Al-Alawi pointed out that “political forces are required today to prioritize the language of understanding and stability, and to support any governmental path that aims to strengthen sovereignty and improve the standard of living of citizens,” noting that “political stability is the real gateway to addressing outstanding issues and building a state of institutions.”
This statement comes at a time of political activity surrounding the next phase and constitutional and electoral requirements, with names and potential figures circulating as possible candidates to lead the next government. Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is considered one of the leading candidates to continue as prime minister, given what some political factions deem the “stable performance” of his government compared to previous administrations.
