[size=45]The country has been in complete political paralysis since the early legislative elections in October 2021, with endless negotiations and skirmishes between the major parties that have so far been unable to agree on the election of a president and the appointment of a new prime minister.[/size]
[size=45]The Sadrist movement, which has the largest number of deputies, 329, wanted to choose the prime minister and form a majority government in alliance with Sunni and Kurdish parties, but it was unable to do so because it did not achieve the necessary majority in Parliament.[/size]
