Shafaq News / A source in the Shiite coordination framework revealed, on Tuesday, that a meeting of Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish political forces will be held at the end of this week in the capital, Baghdad.
The source told Shafaq News Agency, “The meeting will include the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, or his representative, the head of the Fatah Alliance Hadi al-Amiri, leaders from the coordination framework, the head of the Progress Alliance, Muhammad al-Halbousi, and the representative of the presidency of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union.”

This movement comes in the wake of an initiative launched by Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani, which led to the meeting of the Triple Alliance, in Al-Hanana (Sadr’s residence in Najaf), which included Nechirvan Barzani, President of Kurdistan Region (the Democratic Party), Khamis Al-Khanjar and Muhammad Al-Halbousi for (sovereignty), with the chest.
Only seven days remain until the date of the election of the President of the Republic of Iraq, as the Iraqi parliament is scheduled to hold a session, the second of its legislative life, next Monday, in which the president is chosen.
Most of the odds indicate that Hoshyar Zebari, the candidate of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, will be president of the republic, and that the latter will assign the Sadrist bloc’s candidate to form the Iraqi government.
In terms of numbers, the tripartite alliance (Al-Sadr, the Democratic Party and the Sovereignty) constitutes about two-thirds of the parliament’s members, as the Sadrist bloc has 73 seats, the Democratic Party has 31, and the Sovereignty Alliance has 67 seats, bringing a total of 171 seats out of a total of 329 deputies.
