Dissidents from the Sudanese party form the “National Declaration Alliance” to support the framework.
The “National Contract Alliance” and the “Sumerian Movement,” along with a number of other MPs who defected from the “Reconstruction and Development” coalition led by Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, announced on Wednesday the formation of the “National Statement Alliance,” affirming its support for the government and the unity of the coordinating framework.
A statement issued by the new alliance, and received by Shafaq News Agency, stated that the signatory forces decided, after studying the Iraqi political arena and the requirements of political action and coordination with national political forces, to announce the formation of the new alliance.
The statement added that “the coalition takes upon itself the responsibility of continuing to support the government and the unity of the coordinating framework, and to adhere to the national and legitimate principles from which we proceed in all our political positions.”
According to the statement, the coalition indicated its commitment to “preserving national sovereignty and the independence of national decision-making, supporting state institutions, and standing against any attempt to weaken or compromise them.”
A few days ago, MP Ali Anhir Al-Sarai announced his withdrawal from the “Reconstruction and Development” bloc, confirming that he would continue to work as an independent MP within the House of Representatives.
This development came after a series of withdrawals from the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, most notably the withdrawal of the National Contract Bloc, affiliated with the head of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Faleh al-Fayyad, and the Sumerians Movement, headed by former Minister of Labor Ahmed al-Asadi, last week, “against the backdrop of what happened in terms of clear circumvention of political and organizational agreements, and breach of the covenants and agreements that were agreed upon, as well as the adoption of methods of exclusion and marginalization against a number of representatives of the people, according to what was stated in the statement of the two blocs.”
