The National: Abbadi is the favorite to get a second term
Translated by Hamid Ahmed
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is seen as the prime candidate for reelection as prime minister following Iraq's successful defeat and re-assertion of Kirkuk during his tenure as prime minister.
Although those expectations have been somewhat squandered, he is trying to form a major political coalition through his victory alliance, which he heads with other Shi'ite blocs that give him decisive support.
Criticism began when Abadi entered an election coalition last month, with some of the masses represented by the Iranian-backed popular crowd.
A source in the Dawa Party, said that the alliance of Abadi with these blocs collapsed after 24 hours against the backdrop of discussions related to ministerial posts, noting that "Abadi refused to give them any guarantees."
The source close to al-Maliki, "This alliance, which quickly collapsed, was a successful trick from the head of the Iranian Quds Force Qassem Soleimani to reduce the criticism of the political blocs of Abadi to mobilize the popular," asserting that "this alliance was not intended to run together, From Soleimani to neutralize the power of slaves. "
Another source close to the government said Abadi was convinced his alliance with the crowd would form a big coalition that would ensure him to retain his position for a second term.
The source, however, said that he was given to Abadi signals by the Iranians and others, that this coalition will ensure the survival of the Shiite bloc, that is, the Islamists within the Shiite bloc, and if not, it means that (Abadi) is to lose .. "This was the goal of the coalition. He was deceived and he was a trap. "
"The coalitions that precede the elections should not be taken as an indicator of the nature and composition of the next government," said former Iraqi ambassador to Washington Luqman Filley.
"All these people are trying to organize themselves on election day," he said. "The coalition does not reflect the type of government formation. These coalitions are always short-term and with a specific goal, not as a short- or long-term strategic alliance. .
Meanwhile, close associates of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki revealed that the latter is no longer interested in obtaining the post again, boosting the chances of his rival Haider Abadi to retain the post of prime minister for a second term.
The source said that "Maliki has told them in private discussions and repeatedly, that he does not seek for the post of prime minister again, and that he heads the list of state law only to give it momentum and the best chance to win the election."
"He prefers to remain in the shadows, to be strong, not to devote his attention to this," one source said, speaking of Maliki.
Maliki was forced to step down in a humiliating way in 2014 after the fall of Mosul, but the organization was advocated and replaced by his colleague in the Dawa Party Haider Abadi, and the two parties since then to rival rivals.
The source close to Maliki, the latter "does not compete for the post of prime minister, although he still feels that he has an important role to be in the elections," noting that "he is still a strong man in the eyes of many Iraqi Shiites, and will strengthen this Reputation in the elections. "
