Al-Bayati: The meetings of the next 72 hours will determine the direction of the session to elect the President of the Republic.
MP Mohammed Al-Bayati confirmed on Wednesday that the meetings of the next 72 hours will be crucial in determining the direction of the April 11 session dedicated to electing the President of the Republic.
Al-Bayati told Al-Maalomah that “important meetings will be held in the capital, Baghdad, during the next 72 hours, between the various political forces and their representatives, in order to move towards understandings that may help in deciding the choice of the President of the Republic during the session on April 11 that will be held by the Iraqi Parliament.”
He added that “the indicators so far are positive, and all parties realize the importance of expediting the formation of the government to manage complex and highly sensitive files, especially those related to the financial and economic situation,” noting that “the country is going through difficult circumstances, especially with the inability to market the majority of crude oil, which represents the backbone of the public treasury’s revenues, particularly with regard to salaries and other obligations.”
Al-Bayati affirmed that “the next 72 hours will clearly determine the direction of the political forces, and whether the April 11th session will result in the election of the president, and subsequently, the nomination of the largest bloc’s candidate to form the government.” He emphasized that “supporting the swift formation of the government is a priority, because the requirements and challenges of the current stage necessitate accelerating the pace of work and paying attention to the nature and sensitivity of this phase.”
