[size=52]The tripartite alliance closest to winning the votes of the neutral category, and Al-Maliki leads the national stability[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]A race away from the spotlight that started a few days ago towards the “swinging bloc,” which is the group of representatives and small political forces that are still outside the circle of competition between the “current and the coordination.”[/size]
[size=45]The two parties to the political conflict hope to persuade the largest number of that category, and bring it to its side, to break the two-thirds barrier of parliament members approved by the Federal Court for the necessity of electing the President of the Republic.[/size]
[size=45]Before the last judiciary decision (two thirds of the seats), the political forces were competing to announce the largest bloc, which is no longer enough now, as everyone is looking for at least 220 seats.[/size]
[size=45]The neutral category in Parliament is divided into about 9 groups, between parties and coalitions formed after the elections, and independent individuals.[/size]
[size=45]According to the figures, the tripartite alliance, which includes the Sadrist movement and part of the Sunni and Kurdish forces, is the closest to achieving "two-thirds" if the independent team joins them.[/size]
[size=45]But the coordinating framework is also close to announcing a broad alliance led by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, and the (coordinating party) claims that it will achieve a majority.[/size]
[size=45]Another week of negotiation[/size]
[size=45]This is taking place at a time when the Federal Court gave another week for understanding between the political forces, before deciding on the fate of the parliament’s announcement of opening the nomination for the position of “president” for the second time.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, Wednesday, the Federal Court decided to postpone the case for reopening the nomination for the post of President of the Republic.[/size]
[size=45]The court had held its deliberative session in the appeal case against the decision to open the nomination for the post of President of the Republic No. (4) on February 8, 2022.[/size]
[size=45]After taking the statements of the plaintiff and the defendant, the court decided to adjourn the case to the first of next March.[/size]
[size=45]It was expected that the court's resolution of the appeal submitted to the parliament's decision would move the stagnant waters for about a month, and the political forces would begin to interact again and reach an agreement on proceeding with the formation of the government.[/size]
[size=45]Earlier this February, the Federal Reserve had interpreted the quorum for the session to choose the president of the republic as the need for two-thirds of the council’s members.[/size]
[size=45]Since then, with the judiciary's decision to expel Hoshyar Zebari, the most prominent candidate for the presidency, the political forces on both sides (the current and the coordination) boycotted the sessions.[/size]
[size=45]So far, neither side has enough votes to pass the rest of the benefits, after the only quorum session that took place last month, and ended with the selection of the parliament speaker and his two deputies.[/size]
[size=45]Neutral class[/size]
[size=45]According to information received by Al-Mada, "the tripartite alliance is working to strengthen its alliance and increase its numbers by including other parties."[/size]
[size=45]There are 9 parties in Parliament, which have not officially announced their position towards either of the parties to the dispute, and the number of these parties is estimated at 46 seats.[/size]
[size=45]This category is represented by the Alliance for the People, which includes 18 seats, the Popular Bloc 4 seats, and the Design Alliance led by Representative Amer Al-Fayez (4 deputies).[/size]
[size=45]In addition to Ishraqa Kanon (6 seats), the Voice of Independents Gathering (4 seats), the Kurdistan Islamic Union (4 seats).[/size]
[size=45]The neutral team also includes the total of the Christian representatives in the Babylonian alliance, who have 4 seats, the Kurdistan Justice Group one seat, and the independent Farouk Hanna from the Christian “quota.”[/size]
[size=45]Thus, the tripartite coalition will announce that it owns two-thirds of the parliament (220 seats) if all independent and neutral groups in parliament join.[/size]
[size=45]The Triple Alliance includes 174 seats, 74 of which are for the Sadrist movement, 69 for the Sunni forces, the Alliance of Sovereignty and Progress, and 31 for the Kurdistan Democratic Party.[/size]
[size=45]The coalition had collected more than those seats in the opening session of Parliament, where it voted for Muhammad al-Halbousi, Speaker of Parliament and a partner of “Al-Sadr” with 200 votes.[/size]
[size=45]Accordingly, the expectations were that the tripartite alliance could easily restore this figure in the event the Federal Court resolved the issue of the nomination of the President of the Republic.[/size]
[size=45]Last Tuesday, Parliament announced a new list of 33 candidates for the post of President of the Republic, adding 8 names from the previous list.[/size]
[size=45]According to a statement by the Parliament’s media department, “59 candidates applied for the position of President of the Republic, and 26 were excluded for reasons, most notably the lack of political experience and the lack of a university degree.”[/size]
[size=45]Parliament published the names of the 33 candidates qualified to take the position, most notably: Barham Salih (the candidate of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the current President of the Republic), and Reber Khaled (the candidate of the Kurdistan Democratic Party led by Massoud Barzani).[/size]
[size=45]Parliament had published for the first time the nominations for the position of the presidency of the Republic 25 names, before being excluded Zebari, and re-open the door for nominations again on February 8.[/size]
[size=45]Article 72b of the constitution stipulates the election of a new president within a maximum period of 30 days from the first session of the elected parliament, and this period has already expired, considering that parliament held its first session on January 9.[/size]
[size=45]In order to prevent a presidential vacuum, the Federal Supreme Court decided, on January 13, to keep President Barham Salih in office until the election of a new president.[/size]
[size=45]Article 70 of the constitution states that “the House of Representatives elects from among the candidates a president of the republic by a two-thirds majority of its members (220 deputies out of 329).[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki's "steadfastness"[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the coordination framework claims that it is close to announcing the formation of an expanded coalition, headed by Nuri al-Maliki.[/size]
[size=45]According to Mahmoud El-Hayani, a member of the coordination framework who spoke to (Al-Mada) that the bloc now includes 130 deputies and will be called “national stability.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Hayani points out that this bloc "cannot form a government alone, and we hope to include parties from the independents, the tripartite alliance, or the Sadrist movement."[/size]
[size=45]The announcement of the imminent formation of the broad bloc came after (Al-Mada) revealed the arrival of a Shiite delegate of Arab nationality, to mediate between "Al-Sadr" and "Al-Maliki" to unite the Shiite house.[/size]
[size=45]And the leader of the Sadrist movement announced earlier, during a video clip, that he welcomes all parties to the coordination framework, except for al-Maliki.[/size]
[size=45]But al-Hayani, a member of the Coordination Council, says that "the leader of the Sadrist movement will change his position if he finds that the new alliance is patriotic and has a desire for reform and limiting weapons."[/size]
