A POLITICAL AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED TO PASS THE AL-ZAYDI GOVERNMENT THIS WEEK
A parliamentary source revealed on Saturday that there is a political agreement to pass the government of Prime Minister-designate Ali Faleh al-Zaidi during this week, before a number of MPs head to Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj pilgrimage.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that the Speaker of Parliament “has not yet received any official notification from the government regarding the submission of the cabinet,” explaining that “if the notification arrives, the date of the session will be set and members of parliament will be notified 24 hours before the confidence vote session.”
He added that “there is an agreement between the parliament’s leadership and the heads of the political blocs to pass the government formation during this week, before a group of MPs head to Saudi Arabia next week to perform the Hajj rituals.”
Prime Minister-designate Ali Faleh al-Zaidi submitted the ministerial program for the new government to Speaker of Parliament Hebat Hamad al-Halbousi last Thursday (May 7), in preparation for circulating it to members of Parliament for review, with the names of the government formation to be submitted later.
On April 27, 2026, President Nizar Amidi tasked Al-Zaidi with forming the new government after he was nominated by the Coordination Framework to succeed Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani.
