With the start of Ramadan, a breakthrough is expected in the presidential deadlock, with the nomination of the candidate from the largest bloc
With the start of Ramadan, a breakthrough is expected in the presidential deadlock, with the nomination of the candidate from the largest bloc.
Abdel Samad Zarkoushi, a member of the coordinating framework, predicted on Friday (February 13, 2026) that the candidate of the largest bloc would be appointed during the first days of the holy month of Ramadan.
Al-Zarkoushi told Baghdad Today that “dialogues and meetings of the Coordination Framework forces are continuing almost daily, and there are serious efforts to resolve the issue of the position of President of the Republic,” noting that “important understandings have been reached in the past few days, and are expected to be reflected in next week’s meetings.”
He added that "the readings available to us indicate that the issue of electing the President of the Republic and assigning the candidate of the largest bloc will be resolved in the first days of Ramadan," noting that "the forces of the framework are still holding on to their candidate Nouri al-Maliki for the next government, and there are no changes in this direction."
Al-Zarkoushi confirmed that "the forces of the framework will hold an important meeting next week, perhaps before the month of Ramadan, to discuss several issues, and its outcomes may lead to accelerating the pace of setting a session for the House of Representatives to vote on the President of the Republic, after which the latter will assign the candidate of the largest bloc."
These statements come amid continued political deadlock over the appointment of the President and Prime Minister, following repeated rounds of talks between the Coordination Framework forces and other political forces.
The House of Representatives had failed in previous sessions to achieve the legal quorum necessary to elect the President of the Republic, which led to postponing the decision more than once, amid political tensions and disagreements over the candidates.
According to the Iraqi constitution, the election of the president of the republic precedes the step of assigning the candidate of the largest parliamentary bloc to form the government, which makes this entitlement pivotal in ending the state of paralysis and moving towards forming a new government to manage the next stage. link

Mod: MORNING ALL! HAPPY SATURDAY! CBD MATT AND LUCAS KICK OFF THE FIRST 45 MINS AND MARK GIVES THE NEWS UPDATE AT 10:30 AM
Member: Happy Valentines Day to everyone.
Member: Happy Valentine's Day to all the sweethearts in our community!
Member: Anything new on the bond side Mark?
MZ: Bonds continue to stay quiet, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I think its exactly as planned. I understand its painful. It’s been painful for me.
MZ: In Iraq: “Trump comments on the coordination Framework candidate. We have some options” He does not want Maliki…..W are still waiting for them to seat the President and then the Prime Minister. This could happen very quickly….in a day or two.
Member: Well it sure appears they are in no hurry and don’t give a d*** about breaking their constitution.
Member: Iraq still tripping over their own shoelaces again in the news? Lmao. What a bunch of slackers.
Member: I really think they have been told that they can’t go yet and they created this Maliki thing to cover up the fact that they have been told to wait.
Member: Is it possible that they have been told by Trump and our military that we can’t go yet, so they created this Maliki situation to have a reason to stall? Maybe they just can’t go yet?
Member: Sounds more like a "way" to hide any revalue of the Dinar until they are ready or until they are told to revalue.. just sayin!!!
MZ: Other conversations in Iraq, which previous articles talk about …is they feel like they are between a rock and hard place about Maliki…..If the house decides Maliki is not good for Iraq…then it’s the people deciding. If they follow Trumps recommendation – it looks like they are not a sovereign country …So will they double down on stupid and put Maliki in to prove they are in charge…or find out just what the people want?
Member: Love the pun between IRAQ and a hard place Mark
Member: I wonder if Iraq were to hold elections of the people, how long of a time frame are we looking for that process to occur?
MZ: Their Constitution has some interesting takes on this.” Dissolution of the works of Parliament “ On the brink or the constitution. Iraq between politics deadlock and the possibility of a Grand Solution. What is that Grand Solution? Have elections again….start again from scratch…This may get rid of the Maliki question …This is what they are talking about.
Member: Well that would suck.
MZ: “ US Congressional Delegation assures Barzani of Iraq’s support and protection of the Kurdistan Region” There are congressman on the ground as we speak. Delegations are working closely and tightly with the Kurdish Region and Baghdad to try to come up with a solution as quickly as possible. They might not admit it….but the world needs this revaluation.
MZ: Pure panic occurred in the banking world on Thursday afternoon. They created false interest then to crash the price of gold and silver to kick in the algorithm. IMO the full blown last panic started Thursday afternoon. Banks and Central Banks have been grabbing as much metals as they could. They stepped this up to a “Hail Mary” level on Thursday. We may start seeing this in MSM early this week…they can’t hide it. Panic has ensued…watch it play out.
MZ: In Venezuela- They are printing new bills that say Venezuelan dollar. We need to keep an eye on this. Will we have to exchange our bolivar for the new currency? I do not know. The new bills are specifically called dollars and not bolivar. When I get information on this I will share it.
Member: Donnie, Mike Bara, TNT Tony etc saying they can’t give information.
Member: Teller at my bank said all managers were off site in training. He confirms that he was NDA also! Yaaayyy!
Member. Remember it’s a 3 day weekend with Presidents Day on Monday…..and Chinese New Year on Tuesday I believe. It will be year of the horse and “New Beginnings”
Member: I have read that Basel 3 kicks in at 60% the 16th.
Member: Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras and Chinese new year that’s a lot of events to distract us!
Member: Also Ramadan all over the middle east starts on the 17th.
Member: Hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day. Still hoping this will be our RV weekend……fingers crossed.
Member: Have a blessed weekend everyone, I love you all!!!
