Kurdish and Sunni messages bring Al-Kazemi closer to head the government

Shafak News / Informed political sources revealed, on Saturday, that the Shiite forces are close to agreeing to name the head of the Iraqi intelligence service, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, for the post of Iraqi Prime Minister, in light of the arrival of Kurdish and Sunni supportive messages.

The sources said in exclusive statements to Shafak News, “The head of the Iraqi intelligence service, Mustafa al-Kazemi, is the favorite to obtain the presidency of the new Iraqi government at the present time, especially after the arrival of messages from Sunni and Kurdish political parties, in support of this nomination.”

The sources indicated that “the meetings of the Shiite political forces witnessed Al-Kazemi’s strong presentation during the past hours, and there is almost unanimity and agreement to present him as a candidate for prime minister to the President of the Republic, Barham Saleh, during the next two days.”

The former Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi had stepped down from the task of forming the government early this month after he failed to persuade the Kurds, Sunnis and some Shiite forces to give confidence to his cabinet.

The President of the Republic, Barham Salih, has 15 days to assign another person the task of forming a government.

Unprecedented popular protests forced Adel Abdul Mahdi’s government to submit her resignation in early December 2019.

The demonstrators insist that the political elite accused of corruption and waste of state money, which has ruled since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003, is gone and held accountable.
