Al-Khalidi reveals a “powerful alliance” led by Al-Maliki and a parallel movement to Al-Sudani that includes 100 MPs.
Member of the Coordination Framework, Mohammed al-Khalidi, revealed today, Monday, an intense political movement to form new alliances within the Council of Representatives. He pointed to the inclination of some forces towards the opposition front led by the head of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, countered by a parallel movement by the head of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, to form a major parliamentary bloc.
Al-Khalidi told Al-Maalouma, “There is a real and serious inclination by some political forces towards the option of parliamentary opposition under the umbrella of a new alliance being arranged under the name ‘The Alliance of the Strong.’” He explained that “this alliance will be headed by the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, and will adopt political opposition as its approach within the parliament.”
He added that “these movements are met on the other side by parallel efforts and activity led by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani,” noting that “al-Sudani’s movement aims to form a broad and supportive political alliance that includes more than 100 members of parliament to ensure political and executive stability.”
Regarding the recent withdrawals, Al-Khalidi affirmed that “the political blocs that withdrew from the coalition recently will not affect its weight, influence, or decision-making power within the parliament.”
