A new dispute erupted between Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani and the head of the State of Law Coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, over al-Sudani's nomination of a leader of the League of the Righteous movement for the upcoming provincial elections.[/size]
[size=45]Talking about the dispute is not the first of its kind, as political sources revealed on December 28, 2022 that disagreements occurred between leaders in the coordination framework and Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, due to the latter taking some decisions without referring to them to the leadership body in the framework, which aroused anger and rejection. For framework leaders led by Nuri al-Maliki.[/size]
[size=45]An informed political source said that Al-Sudani presented to the coordination framework Muhannad Shaker, the official of the League of the Righteous Organizations for the Karkh side in Baghdad, as his candidate in the upcoming provincial elections.[/size]
[size=45]He added that Al-Maliki considers himself the leader of the coordination framework on the one hand, and the sponsor of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq on the other hand. He considered this step a rebellion by withdrawing the League's candidates to the Sudanese camp, as Al-Maliki wants the nomination of the coordination framework candidates to be exclusively in his hand.[/size]
[size=45]He said that Al-Sudani rejects this acquisition by Al-Maliki, and some leaders of the framework share this.[/size]
[size=45]Regarding the position of the leader of the League, Qais al-Khazali, on this dispute, the source said that Khazali is neutral, but he sent signals about his joining with al-Sudani to form an electoral list that includes other currents in the framework.[/size]
[size=45]It should be noted that the leaders and forces of the coordinating framework inclusive of the Shiite forces, with the exception of the Sadrist movement, were not completely in agreement with Muhammad Shia al-Sudani assuming the premiership. However, after the formation of the State Administration Coalition, which includes the coordinating framework and the Sunni and Kurdish forces, Al-Sudani became the only candidate to form the new government.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sudani was named to head the Iraqi government after a political stalemate that exceeded a full year, and deep differences between the main political poles. The President of the Republic assigned him on October 13 to form the government immediately after his election. He won the vote of the Iraqi parliament on the twenty-seventh of the same month.[/size]
[size=45]According to a previous report, in which private sources revealed that Al-Sudani is actually working to form an electoral bloc within the coordination framework to participate in the upcoming local elections.[/size]
[size=45]A political agreement stipulated that the local elections for the provincial councils be held in October. This agreement came after Parliament voted at the end of 2019 to dissolve these councils during the popular protests that demanded this, accusing these councils of corruption.[/size]
