    Iraqi Parliament’s First Session Ignites Dispute over Largest Bloc Empty Iraqi Parliament’s First Session Ignites Dispute over Largest Bloc

    The first session of the new Iraqi parliament ignited on Monday disputes between rival parties over which one holds the largest bloc at the legislature.

    Acting Speaker Mohammed Ali Zaiyni adjourned the session to Tuesday in order to resolve the difference over the largest grouping.

    All 329 lawmakers, except Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi and executive ministers, were sworn in at the legislature’s inaugural session.

    Addressing the MPs, Speaker Salim al-Jabouri called for an apology to be issued to the Iraqi people due to the poor services that sparked popular protests across the central and southern parts of the country in July and which have persisted to this day.

    This marks the second such apology by a senior Iraqi official after one made by Fateh alliance leader Hadi al-Ameri some two months ago.

    The dispute over the largest bloc is likely to continue on Tuesday. This grouping holds sway over naming a new prime minister, who will be tasked with forming a new government.

    The “Reform and Construction” alliance claimed to have formed such a bloc, comprised of 177 lawmakers.

    It includes the Sairoun coalition, backed by Sadrist Movement leader cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, Abadi’s Victory alliance, Hikma coalition of Ammar al-Hakim, “Wataniya” coalition of Iyad Allawi and “Qarar” coalition of Usama al-Nujaifi.

    The Fateh – State of Law alliance, which dubbed itself the “Construction Alliance”, however, declared that it gathered the largest number of MPs, with 153. It is comprised of Ameri and former PM Nouri al-Maliki.

    Fateh MP Naim al-Abboudi told Asharq Al-Awsat that the dispute between the two rival camps over the largest parliamentary bloc will be resolved by the Supreme Court.

    “We have not other way to resolve this dispute,” he stressed.

    Former MP Salah al-Jabouri told Asharq Al-Awsat: “The first parliamentary session brought with it all the disputes we have been suffering from for the past 15 years whereby negotiations after negotiations are held with no clear vision over how to build a state.”
