A LEADER IN THE HIKMA MOVEMENT: MALIKI WILL WITHDRAW AND THE COORDINATION FRAMEWORK WILL REVERT TO THE ORIGINAL SIX NAMES.
Fahd Al-Jubouri, a leader in the National Wisdom Movement, said in a televised interview:
The lack of Kurdish consensus on the presidency is not new.
The coordination framework did not obstruct the presidential election
. This week will be crucial in selecting candidates for both presidencies
. New scenarios regarding al-Maliki’s nomination will be presented and announced tomorrow
. The next government should not be headed by a controversial figure, both domestically and internationally
. Current circumstances are completely unfavorable for al-Maliki’s nomination as prime minister.
We do not expect al-Maliki to form a government
. The religious authority’s stance is part of the political forces’ reservations about al-Maliki
. Why didn’t the majority that nominated al-Maliki attend parliament?
Al-Maliki will withdraw, and the coordination framework will revert to the original six names.
Badr Organization leader Mu’in al-Kadhimi stated in a televised interview:
“There is internal acceptance for the continued nomination of Maliki for Prime Minister
. Maliki is capable of monopolizing weapons in the hands of the state
. Withdrawing support for Maliki will give Trump the opportunity to expand his influence and will lead to further problems.”
