Al-Badri is a compromise candidate within the coordination framework of the Prime Minister’s office.

Shafaq News – A political source revealed on Saturday that Basim al-Badri is considered a compromise candidate within the coordination framework for the position of the next Iraqi Prime Minister, at a time when the leaders of the framework are preparing to hold a meeting soon to officially decide on the candidate’s name.

Amer Al-Fayez, a leader in the Coordination Framework and head of the “Design” parliamentary bloc, told Shafaq News Agency that “the Coordination Framework will hold a meeting in the next few days to officially select a candidate for the position of Prime Minister,” indicating that “there are many names nominated for this position, but there is no agreement on selecting one of the candidates.”

For its part, a source told Shafaq News Agency that there is an “agreement between the leaders of the Coordination Framework to nominate a figure for the position of Prime Minister by consensus between the Reconstruction and Development Coalition and the State of Law Coalition.”

The source added that “Basem Al-Badri is one of the candidates currently and his name will be put forward at the next meeting of the Coordination Framework,” noting that “he has a higher chance as a compromise candidate within the framework.”

He explained that Al-Badri holds the position of head of the Accountability and Justice Commission and belongs to the Dawa Party – Iraq Organization, and has connections inside and outside Iraq, noting that Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, the former Deputy Speaker of Parliament, is also among the names being considered for the position.

This comes after the Speaker of Parliament called on the largest parliamentary bloc to nominate its candidate for Prime Minister within a maximum period of 15 days, based on Article 76 of the Constitution, following the election of the President of the Republic.
