Shafaq News- Baghdad
The members of parliament are
preparing to collect signatures and submit a formal request to the president to
nominate a candidate for prime minister if political blocs fail to reach an agreement
by Saturday, Mahmoud al-Shammari, a member of the Services bloc in parliament,
told Shafaq News on Thursday.
He added that the legislature has
the authority to propose a candidate as the country’s highest legislative body,
adding that continuation of the current situation, with a caretaker government
and 10 ministries without ministers, “pushes us to intervene in the selection
of the next prime minister.”
Amer Al-Fayez, a senior figure in Iraq’s Coordination Framework (CF), told Shafaq News that the ongoing talks to select a new prime minister have led to “important understandings” to resolve disputes,, expecting a decision about this issue within hours.
