Maliki’s coalition reveals its top candidates for the Ministry of Interior

MP Shaima al-Fatlawi, from the State of Law Coalition, revealed on Tuesday the coalition’s top candidates for the position of Minister of the Interior, confirming that a list containing several names had been sent to Prime Minister Ali Falih al-Zaidi.

Al-Fatlawi told the Information Agency that “the State of Law Coalition discussed in detail a number of competent individuals to be nominated for the position of Minister of the Interior, considering it the electoral and political entitlement of the coalition.”
She added that “the coalition insisted on re-nominating Qasim Atta, whose number of votes during the previous vote on al-Zaidi’s government was questionable,” revealing that “the most prominent candidates at the top of the submitted list are Qasim Atta and MP Yasser Sakheel.”

An informed source had previously told a local media outlet that the State of Law Coalition had finalized its nomination of Major General Mohammed al-Sultani for the position of Minister of the Interior.
