     Abdul Mahdi faces the biggest bumps by way of forming his government 




    With the acceleration of the pace of political events in Baghdad after a paralysis lasted four months, Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Adel Abdul-Mahdi himself today in front of a difficult test to form his next government, between calls for the selection of ministers technocrats and others rejecting the abolition of party quotas.
    After many hurdles in the formation of alliances after the legislative elections witnessed by Iraq in May last, resulted in sudden political agreements on the election of Mohamed Halabousi as President of the Parliament, and then the election of Barham Saleh President of the Republic, and the appointment of Adel Abdul Mahdi in record time to form a government, It seemed almost impossible hours before that night.
    Abdul Mahdi started a government-led campaign to launch a Web site that enabled Iraqis for two days to apply for a ministerial post, in an unprecedented and unusual move in Iraq.
    In the other mold, the large political blocs in parliament seek to nominate their candidates, but they offer them as independents.
    “All the parties are dealing with the same mentality. The party has seven or eight seats, and it has deputies. It has a ministry that will do everything it can to keep it, because it considers it an electoral entitlement,” said Ahmed al-Asadi, a spokesman for the al-Fath coalition. “He said.
    But in contrast, Asadi believes that “the distribution of portfolios will be different this time,” pointing out that the quota will be according to political alliances and not based on the quotas of components, including Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds.
    Therefore, the Iraqi political analyst Hisham al-Aqabi that Abdul-Mahdi “in front of a great handicap and a difficult task,” as the political blocs “appear to be consistent, but in internal dialogues everyone wants to get the benefits.”
    “The independent does not remain independent.”
    The prime minister-designate pointed out on several occasions that previous experiences confirm that no one remains independent if nominated by a party, and therefore he is going ahead with the plan to minister outside the party framework.
    The speech is almost in line with what is called for by the prominent Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr, who dissolved his coalition first in the legislative elections.
    Sadr insists on a technocrat government far from partisan quotas, which are traditionally recognized in Iraq. “We have prevented the nomination of the ministries, but to be the prime minister’s hand, not a gift for blocs and parties or to be subject to quotas,” he said in a tweet last week. “It has to be independent technocrats, otherwise we would have a position.”
    He himself called for opening the door of general nomination for specialists and competencies.
    But despite this opposition and warning tone from Sadr, a senior official familiar with the negotiations told AFP, asking not to be identified, that “it is impossible for the political blocs to put candidates from outside for ministerial posts.”
    It is likely that “the highest proportion of the names of ministers in the new government will be a surprise, as happened to the three presidencies.”
    The same official confirms that the winning blocs in the elections will submit four candidates for each ministry, from which the prime minister-designate will choose the person he deems appropriate.
    Website strength?
    The same official said that the decision to name Abdul Mahdi came after the approval of the Supreme Shiite authority on him, although it does not meet the conditions stressed by the same reference, especially in terms of not involving officials who have participated in power in previous years.
    As a result, observers see the political scene, that makes Abdul Mahdi “in the circle of control as it was the most appropriate among the candidates, but not desired.”
    In this sense, draws the Iraqi political analyst Hisham al-Hashemi that Abdul Mahdi “will seek to follow the steps of maneuver and political silence.”
    The quotas in Iraq have long been based on turning a blind eye to the mistakes of powerful allies in power, even if this reflected negatively on the image of the prime minister, in order to maintain continuity and not to jump and remove him from office.
    Hashemi confirms that the outgoing Prime Minister Haidar Abadi, for example, had a “strategy not to anger the powerful partners in power,” which is the reason for his success, and therefore can not be prime minister-designate to “play the eagle.”
