Al-Kazemi in Al-Hananah to meet Al-Sadr
Shafaq News / Today, Monday, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi intends to visit the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, at his home in Najaf.
An informed source in Najaf Governorate told Shafaq News Agency that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi will visit later today, Al-Hanana area in Najaf to meet with Mr. Muqtada Al-Sadr, without further details.
During the past weeks, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, received at his home in Al-Hanana in Najaf, a number of high-ranking political figures, including the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, and the Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Muhammad al-Halbousi, the last of which was the visit of Iranian General Ismail Qaani.
The Sadrist bloc topped the October 10 elections, with 73 seats, followed by the Progress Alliance with 37, the State of Law coalition with 33, and the Kurdistan Democratic Party with 31.
Al-Sadr seeks to form a national majority government by excluding some forces from it, led by the State of Law coalition led by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, unlike the rest of the Shiite forces within the coordination framework that demand a consensual government in which all political forces in Parliament participate, similar to previous sessions.
It is reported that Al-Sadr received, on January 6, Al-Kazemi at his home in Al-Hanana, without issuing any clarification from the two sides about the meeting, but observers believe that Al-Kazemi is seeking new support to win a second term to head the Iraqi government.
