THE END OF THE “LONG STRUGGLE”… MALIKI IS CLOSE TO ANNOUNCING HIS WITHDRAWAL EXPECTATIONS ARE THAT A NEW SESSION TO ELECT THE “PRESIDENT” WILL BE HELD EARLY NEXT WEEK
THE END OF THE “LONG STRUGGLE”… MALIKI IS CLOSE TO ANNOUNCING HIS WITHDRAWAL EXPECTATIONS ARE THAT A NEW SESSION TO ELECT THE “PRESIDENT” WILL BE HELD EARLY NEXT WEEK.
(This announcement is what Kurdistan was waiting for in order to announce their nominee for the presidency. Picking the new president was not the crisis it was a coverup while they sorted out this Nori al-Maliki nominee mess. Understand? Now that he has conceded his nomination and back off the new president is announced to us. Thus they can now move ahead with the election process again. )
Speculation is mounting in political circles that Nouri al-Maliki, leader of the State of Law Coalition, may announce his withdrawal from the prime ministerial race within the next few hours or days, a scenario reminiscent of 2014.
These expectations come at a time of continued political deadlock, with Parliament failing for the second time in two weeks to convene a session to elect a president—a constitutional step that should pave the way for the nomination of the candidate from the largest bloc to form the new government.
According to multiple sources, the reason for the stalled sessions is not so much procedural disagreements, as officially stated, but rather al-Maliki’s own nomination. He faces objections primarily from Shia political forces, in addition to a warning from the United States that it will halt aid to Iraq if his nomination is approved. This has placed the political process in a complex internal and external predicament.
Meanwhile, the pro-government camp, which visited the Kurdistan Region last Monday, does not appear to have emerged with clear support for al-Maliki’s candidacy. It seems they have thus gathered a range of internal and external opinions regarding their nominee.
The five key players in the government crisis,
according to a Shiite politician close to the negotiations, who spoke to Al-Mada, are likely to see Maliki’s room for maneuver shrinking, leaving him with no option but to withdraw quietly. The politician, who requested anonymity, indicated that Maliki and his pro-government camp had listened to the positions of all parties, both internal and external, regarding a candidate who “does not seem acceptable.”
He added that the “Coordination Framework” team supporting Maliki received no positive signals from his recent visit to Kurdistan, and had previously failed to gauge the opinion of the Najaf religious establishment, which refused to intervene.
Meanwhile, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s stance on Maliki was interpreted in various ways. The Shiite opposition saw his position as lacking any explicit endorsement or support.
Furthermore, the pro-government camp received signals of rejection from approximately half of the Sunni political forces, while US President Donald Trump’s position was the most explicit, describing Maliki as a “bad” choice who would reignite sectarian tensions in Iraq.
The “withdrawal scenario” is expected by politicians, who anticipate a repeat of the 2014 scenario, with Maliki appearing to announce his resignation after prolonged attempts to remain in power. He leveraged his well-known “patience” and pushed his supporters toward escalation before decisive messages arrived from the religious establishment rejecting his continued rule.
A group of Shiite forces believes that the religious establishment’s stance against Maliki remains unchanged “unless something contradicts it,” which encourages Ammar al-Hakim, leader of the “Hikma Movement,” and Qais al-Khazali, leader of “Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq,” to continue rejecting his candidacy.In this context, Hussam al-Hassani, spokesman for the “Hikma Movement,” endorsed the predictions regarding Maliki’s withdrawal, stating in a television interview: “I expect Maliki to withdraw, and this stance is not unusual for him,” adding that “the coordinating framework has no decision to confront the United States.”
Hakim and Khazali had previously posted a photo of themselves together during the “pro-government” camp’s trip to Kurdistan, a scene interpreted as a declaration of alignment within the “opposition” camp. A statement issued by al-Khazali’s office indicated that “the meeting addressed the importance of respecting constitutional timelines in the government formation process, expediting the selection of the president, and discussing the political situation and the positions of national forces to ensure consensus and stability in the national landscape.”
MNT GOAT: Really? Is Maliki in Any Position to Set Conditions? The Final Political Miscalculation
Introduction: Really… Conditions?
Really?
Is Nouri al-Maliki actually in a position to place conditions on anyone—let alone the United States?
What we are witnessing now is not strength. It is political theater, an attempt to save face while quietly retreating from a nomination that has already collapsed.
Maliki wants the public to believe he is standing up to the U.S.
In reality, he has no leverage, no support, and no future path forward.
The Face-Saving Strategy: Blame Everyone Else
In a recent interview monitored by Roj News, Maliki stated:
“I am an Iraqi citizen, and my nomination came from an Iraqi institution, the Coordination Framework. Therefore, I cannot withdraw based on the request of a foreign country.”
Sounds bold—until you compare it with his previous statements, where he openly suggested he would withdraw under “certain conditions.”
So which is it?
This contradiction exposes the truth:
Maliki is backing down—but he refuses to admit why.
It’s Always Trump’s Fault… Right?
Now comes the predictable pivot.
Maliki claims that:
President Trump was “misled”
Three countries and domestic parties influenced opposition
The infamous tweet may not have even come from Trump himself
Let’s be real.
Trump does not need to be “misled” about Maliki.
He remembers exactly what Iraq looked like from 2006–2014.
That era speaks for itself.
This was not foreign manipulation.
This was accountability.
The Real Reason Maliki Is Backing Out
Here’s the key admission Maliki can’t escape:
“My candidacy would not expose Iraq to U.S. economic sanctions.”
Why even say this—unless sanctions are a very real threat?
He then adds:
“I would give up my candidacy if this came at the request of the majority of the Coordination Framework.”
Translation:
If enough people tell me to leave, I’ll pretend it was their idea.
This is not negotiation.
This is damage control.
Non-Negotiable Reality
Savaya already made it clear:
The Iranian issue is non-negotiable.
Maliki’s long-standing ties, alignment, and political baggage place him squarely on the wrong side of Iraq’s future direction.
He can push.
He can posture.
But in the end—he must step aside
.
Allegations, Reputation, and Credibility
Maliki’s credibility issues are not new.
Over the years, serious allegations regarding substance abuse, medical emergencies abroad, and inappropriate conduct have circulated widely in political and intelligence circles. Whether fully substantiated or not, these stories have severely damaged international confidence in his leadership.
Perception matters in geopolitics.
And Maliki’s perception is toxic.
The Final Nail: Hikma Movement Confirms the Exit
In a very recent article dated 2/5, titled:
“A Leader in the Hikma Movement: Maliki Will Withdraw and the Coordination Framework Will Revert to the Original Six Names”
We receive confirmation from multiple fronts.
Key statements include:
Maliki lacks Kurdish consensus
Religious authority rejects his leadership
He is viewed as a controversial figure domestically and internationally
Current conditions are “completely unfavorable”
Parliament attendance from his supporters collapsed
Most importantly:
“Al-Maliki will withdraw, and the Coordination Framework will revert to the original six names.”
Translation:
Game over.
Featured Snippet: Key Insight
Nouri al-Maliki’s withdrawal is not voluntary—it is the result of U.S. pressure, Iraqi political rejection, religious opposition, and the collapse of his internal support base.
Q&A: What This Means Going Forward
Q: Is Maliki completely finished politically?
A: All indicators suggest this episode may be his final political miscalculation.
Q: Could Maliki face prosecution?
A: That remains unclear. Some believe legal consequences may follow, others believe he will quietly disappear from public life.
Q: Why does this matter for Iraq’s future?
A: Removing controversial figures clears the path for political reform, which is required before economic and currency reform.
Q: Who replaces Maliki?
A: The Coordination Framework is reverting to the original candidate list—minus Maliki.
Final Thoughts: The End of the Road
Maliki misjudged Trump.
He misjudged the U.S.
He misjudged Iraq.
And now, he has misjudged how little power he truly has.
Whether this ends in prosecution, exile, or quiet retirement, one thing is clear:
This chapter is closing.
And Iraq—finally—can move forward.

MNT GOAT : Really? Is he in a position to place conditions?
Here is where Maliki is trying to save his face by showing he is not backing down to the US (he thinks he has so much power… really? ) but in reality, we all know he is backing down because he has no power. Al-Maliki said in an interview on a local channel, which was monitored by the “Roj News” agency, that “he is an Iraqi citizen, and that his nomination for the position of Prime Minister of Iraq was done by an Iraqi institution, which is the “Coordination Framework”, and therefore it is not possible for him to withdraw based on a request from a foreign country.” However, in the previous article he tells us he is backing down for other reasons and not for reason of the US request.
Now he blames it all on Trump. It’s always Trumps fault…lol..lol..lol.. He added that “Trump was misled against his candidacy for a third term by three countries and domestic parties, adding: “I heard that the tweet was written here, but I haven’t confirmed this yet.” No Maliki Trump remembers the mess you made in Iraq from 2006-2014. That is why he does not want you back in power. It was your own fault Maliki! I want to add Maliki is know as a heroin addict and so this also impacts his thinking and decision making abilities. Does everyone remember when he was rushed from his London apartment to a hospital for his diabetes coma? The call to the hospital was made by multiple prostitutes in his room as they found him naked in the bed with needles and heroin. This is the dude they were going to put in to control Iraq? Again just a stupid puppet like Biden. Who is pulling the strings?
So, here is the real reason Maliki is deciding to back out – “Al-Maliki pointed out that his candidacy would not expose Iraq to economic sanctions by the United States, noting that this matter is being promoted with the aim of pushing towards abandoning this candidacy.” “According to the head of the State of Law Coalition, he would be prepared to give up his candidacy for prime minister if this came at the request of the majority of the coordinating framework.”
Do you really believe that the US president is going to take any condition/terms from Maliki in this situation? Savaya already told us this Iranian issue was non-negotiable for them. But Maliki will push it to whatever limits he needs in his attempt to get back in power. In others words Maliki must drop out and stand on the sidelines. I believe the end result for Maliki will be his final miscalculation of Trump and this episode will be the final straw that will get him out of politics once and for all. Will it mean prosecution for his crimes of the past? Or will he just show up dead someday?
Yet in another very recent article that was just published today, 2/5 we find more evidence Maliki is out. It is titled “A LEADER IN THE HIKMA MOVEMENT: MALIKI WILL WITHDRAW AND THE COORDINATION FRAMEWORK WILL REVERT TO THE ORIGINAL SIX NAMES”. In it we learn again of the Kurdish consensus and the religious authority’srejection of Maliki.I quote pieces from the article – “
“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.
So, who will get the nomination for prime minister? Seems they are reverting back to original five names. Yes, minus the peanut-head guy. Let me know what you think.
