He added, “The only candidate from the (Taqaddum) party is MP Shalan Al-Karim, while MP Salem Al-Issawi is the candidate of the (Sovereignty) coalition, and Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani is the candidate of the (Al-Azm) coalition.”
Al-Rashed explained, “The (Taqaddum) Party officially informed the coordination framework and the Kurdish blocs that its only candidate is Representative Shalan Al-Karim.”
The number of candidates for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives reached five representatives:
Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani
Salem Al-Issawi
Shaalan the generous

The day before yesterday, Thursday, the Presidency of the House of Representatives set the date for a session to elect a new Speaker of Parliament to replace former President Muhammad al-Halbousi.
The Parliament’s Media Department issued an agenda received by Shafaq News Agency, setting today, Saturday, January 13, as the date for electing the new Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Since the end of Al-Halbousi’s membership in the House of Representatives, the House has held several sessions to elect a new speaker, but the issue was not raised in those sessions due to the heads of the political blocs not agreeing on the alternative candidate.

Information/private..
Former MP, Jassim Muhammad Jaafar, predicted today, Saturday, the course of the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives within the dome of Parliament, and while he expected that several rounds would be held to decide the most prominent candidate for the presidency, he pointed to Al-Mashhadani’s chances.
Jassim said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “The election session for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, instead of Muhammad Al-Halbousi, will take place according to several rounds,” indicating that “the first round will not witness the victory of any candidate, and the competition will be intense between Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani and Salem Al-Issawi.” And the generous Shaalan.”
He added, “The first candidate who will drop from the nomination race is the Taqaddam Party’s candidate, Shalan Al-Karim, and the competition will be between Al-Mashhadani and Al-Issawi.”
The former MP explained, “The Azm Alliance candidate, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, has more chances of obtaining the position of Speaker of Parliament than Salem Al-Issawi, as a result of the coordination framework’s support for him,” stressing that “If Al-Mashhadani reaches the second round of voting, all the representatives of the coordination framework will be with him.”
A member of the House of Representatives, Ali Al-Jamali, had confirmed in an interview with the “Al-Ma’louma” agency, “The failure to reach consensus on a specific person to head Parliament will not affect the holding of the inauguration session for the replacement today,” adding that the coordination framework tends to vote for the Al-Azm Alliance candidate, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani.
All the forces of the Coordination Framework and its allies are moving to close the page of the expelled Speaker of the House of Representatives, Muhammad al-Halbousi, by installing a replacement, restoring stability to the House of Representatives, and legislating many laws.
