[size=52]In the first.. testing the coordination framework, it splits into at least two coalitions in preparation for the local elections[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]The coordination framework is close to disintegrating - at least into two parts - in the first test of the alliance after the formation of the government due to disagreements over the map of the local elections that are expected to be held before the end of the year.[/size]
[size=45]It seems that the experience of the Shiite alliance has given lessons to some of the parties affiliated with it, according to a senior leader in the "framework", as it has become difficult to replicate it in the provinces.[/size]
[size=45]Parties in the Shiite alliance that believe they have been subjected to injustice in the distribution of quotas, despite their main role in reaping the votes of the "framework", are planning to go alone in the expected elections.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the system of dividing the votes that the Shiite alliance aspires to in the election law, which has not yet been drafted, is more suitable for large alliances.[/size]
[size=45]However, according to a leader in one of the Shiite parties, large alliances have become a luxury that does not exist, and perhaps does not exist among the Sunni and Kurdish forces.[/size]
[size=45]And about the form of alliances, a leader in the coordination framework says in an interview with (Al-Mada) that “all the framework parties have formed committees to prepare for the local elections, and the proposals talk about at least two lists for the Shiite alliance.”[/size]
[size=45]The leader, who asked not to be named, ruled out: “The coordination framework’s unified entry into the local elections due to the desire of some parties to enter unilaterally.”[/size]
[size=45]On this basis, the coordination framework could become more fragmented, as the leader, a former minister, says that “the state of law wants to invest in the popularity of Nuri al-Maliki to collect votes for it and not for other parties.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki's coalition is considering rejecting all requests to join it from other Shiite parties in the early elections, according to what the Shiite leader says.[/size]
[size=45]The State of Law coalition won 33 seats in the recent legislative elections, then rose to more than 50 seats, following the distribution of the chairs of the Sadrist movement, which withdrew from Parliament last summer, and the accession of some independents to the State of Law.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the coalition has always complained that it was “not fair” in distributing important sites, most of which go to Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, according to what is going on in political circles.[/size]
[size=45]The leader in the coordination framework revealed the expected map of the alliance, stating that “there are indications of an alliance between the Badr Organization and Asaib Ahl al-Haq.”[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of Badr, issued a statement about a separate meeting with Qais al-Khazali (leader of the League), far from the “coordination framework.”[/size]
[size=45]The statement stated that the two sides discussed the importance of "the role of the Al-Fatah Alliance in the unity and cohesion of the coordination framework, the perpetuation of true partnership, and the continuation of work in order to achieve the supreme national interest and the aspirations of the Iraqi people."[/size]
[size=45]This meeting came after reports of divisions within the coordination framework due to disagreements over the management of local elections, and al-Maliki's attempts to appear as the leader of the Shiite coalition, which unlike the rest of the previous Shiite political groupings such as the National Alliance or the Unified National Coalition, has not chosen a president for it yet.[/size]
[size=45]In every meeting of the Shiite parties within the coordination framework that assumed the reins of forming the government following the withdrawal of the Sadrist movement leader Muqtada al-Sadr last June, the local elections are discussed.[/size]
[size=45]This group, according to what a politician in one of the parties, which describes itself as a moderate team within the coordination framework, was keen to fix the date of the provincial elections, although it is not a priority of the political agreement that emphasized early legislative elections.[/size]
[size=45]And the "frame" and during the journey to persuade the rest of the Sunni and Kurdish partners and try to bring al-Sadr back from his isolation, was talking about early elections within a year.[/size]
[size=45]This was specifically mentioned in the government curriculum that was presented to Parliament 3 months ago. After that, it was said that this point had been deleted, before everyone was surprised when Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani left two months ago to announce that the local elections would take place next October.[/size]
[size=45]The politician in the moderate team says in an interview with (Al-Mada): “Most of the political forces, including the framework, are now looking to establish themselves in power.. Power is full now, except for the provinces that need to be restructured.”[/size]
[size=45]During the last two months, Nuri al-Maliki, the leader of the State of Law, criticized more than once the survival of some governors in their positions, and it was expected that a storm of changes would occur after the “framework” took power, especially since the appointment and dismissal of governors became in the hands of the government after the provincial councils were suspended 3 years ago.[/size]
[size=45]The Sadrist movement considered the government’s announcement at the end of last year, setting timelines to test the performance of officials, including the governors, whom al-Sudani gave them a period of 3 months (expires after a month), as pressure to switch the governor’s allegiance to the winning team (referring to the framework) or be expelled from his position.[/size]
[size=45]Before this period passed, the prime minister issued a decision to withdraw the hand of the governor of Diwaniyah, Zuhair al-Shaalan, who is affiliated with al-Maliki, on charges of corruption.[/size]
[size=45]However, in a step that showed the widening of the differences and the lack of implementation of the government's decisions, as sources in the governorate indicate that Al-Shaalan is still running the governorate despite the appointment of his deputy in his place.[/size]
[size=45]The politician from the centrist group, who asked not to be identified, confirms that “the idea of ​​large alliances or cross-sectarian alliances is out of the question now, even between the Sunni and Kurdish forces that are witnessing differences, because each party wants to appear the strongest and seize the largest share of positions.”[/size]
[size=45]The former minister supports this statement, and says: “The fleeting alliances failed in the mixed areas.[/size]
[size=45]So far, the political forces have not reached an agreement on a new election law, but there is almost an agreement to cancel the multiple districts and return to the St. Lego 1.7 system, which divides the number of votes for winners by the last number, which impedes the success of parties that receive limited votes.[/size]
[size=45]This system (St. Lego) was rejected by the Sadrist movement, which seems to be reviewing its accounts in participating in the upcoming elections, according to a Sadrist leader who spoke earlier to (Al-Mada), who confirmed that the movement “will not ally with any other party.. Alliance means concessions and deals.”[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, a member of the political body in the “Euphrates” movement of the prime minister agrees that this system will be more useful for large alliances.[/size]
[size=45]“We are waiting for the political forces to agree on a new election law, after which the map of the alliance will be clearer,” Ali Moanes, a member of the political committee, told Al-Mada.[/size]
[size=45]Moanes confirmed that his party, which participated in the recent legislative elections for the first time and won one seat, “with the idea of ​​entering into large alliances if the electoral system was St. Lego 1.7 and it was not replaced by another system.”[/size]
