MP: Repeatedly postponing meetings to decide on the prime ministership could open a door for foreign interference
MP Mukhtar al-Youssef, from the Badr parliamentary bloc, warned on Tuesday against the repeated postponement of meetings of the Coordination Framework regarding the selection of the largest bloc’s candidate for the position of the next prime minister. He called on the framework’s leaders to resolve the issue next Wednesday, as further delays could open the door to foreign interference.
Al-Youssef told the Information Agency that “the leaders of the Coordination Framework are obligated to their constituents and the Iraqi public to resolve this issue in next Wednesday’s meeting,” warning that “continued postponement will have undesirable repercussions on the political landscape.”
He added that “failure to resolve the prime ministership issue as quickly as possible could open the door to foreign interference in national affairs, which is completely unacceptable.”
It is worth noting that the leaders of the Coordination Framework held a meeting Monday evening without reaching an agreement on the largest bloc’s candidate for the next prime minister, and the meeting was postponed until Wednesday.
