Abdul Hadi: The coordination framework is nearing completion of the cabinet formation process.
Member of the Coordination Framework, Uday Abdul-Hadi, confirmed on Monday that the Framework’s constituent forces will hold an important meeting in the coming hours to determine when to proceed with finalizing the remaining ministerial portfolios in Ali al-Zaidi’s government. Abdul-Hadi told Al-Maalouma, “The Coordination Framework forces will hold a meeting in the coming hours to discuss several issues, foremost among them proceeding with finalizing the remaining ministerial portfolios in Ali al-Zaidi’s government, after reaching an agreement on the candidates’ names.”
He added that “the coming days will be decisive,” noting that “the meeting may determine a date for an extraordinary session of Parliament to vote on the remaining ministerial portfolios.”
He explained that “Parliament has entered a one-month legislative recess from today until July 1st, which means that holding any session during this period requires a request from one of the presidencies or collecting signatures from a number of MPs, according to the constitutional procedures established for holding extraordinary sessions.”
He concluded by saying that “political consensus will remain the decisive factor in finalizing the remaining ministerial portfolios in Ali al-Zaidi’s government.”
