[size=52]Al-Maliki incites the Sadrists to hold early elections to remove Sudanese[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad/ Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]Muhammad al-Sudani, the Prime Minister, is close to being the second prime minister to obtain two terms after Nouri al-Maliki, the leader of the rule of law. Sudani’s idea of ​​renewing a second term enjoys the support of most of the forces of the coordinating framework, while al-Maliki appears to be the only objector. In order for Al-Maliki to confront the objectors within the Shiite alliance, the former searches for an ally, even if he is from outside the “framework.”[/size]
[size=45]The most suitable ally for Al-Maliki now seems to be Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the movement, who has been isolated from politics for about two years, as the leader of the state of law is courting him with the “multiple constituencies” law.[/size]
[size=45]Ahmed Al-Asadi, the Minister of Labor, had revealed a few days ago in an interview that the Sudanese had formed an early electoral alliance, and the minister said that he would participate in it.[/size]
[size=45]These developments came in the wake of Washington’s announcement of the date of the Prime Minister’s visit to the White House, as the first prime minister from the “Hashd Team” to visit the United States.[/size]
[size=45]The latter matter, in addition to Al-Sudani's rising popularity, based on the American Gallup polls, has caused concern among parties within the Shiite alliance.[/size]
[size=45]Analysts observed the beginning of “Sudani’s restriction” by his Shiite comrades, in the recent local elections, where the Prime Minister withdrew from participating a few months ago.[/size]
[size=45]According to hints from representatives of the rule of law, such as Hanan Al-Fatlawi, some forces were afraid that the Sudanese would exploit the huge money in the 2023 budget, which amounted to about 200 trillion dinars, in electoral propaganda.[/size]
[size=45]These fears persist to this day, as parties within the “Framework,” most notably Al-Maliki, support a new election law, requiring the official to resign 6 months before the elections if he wants to run.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, other parties in the Shiite coalition appear to reject these restrictions. Haider al-Abadi, the former prime minister, says: “Every prime minister aspires to complete his program, and perhaps one term is not enough for him.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Abadi also said that when parties in the “Framework” chose Sudanese as prime minister, “they forgot to impose on him not to nominate himself for prime minister without obtaining their approval.”[/size]
[size=45]Regarding amending the electoral law, Al-Abadi confirmed in a television interview: “The current electoral law is okay, and changing it would be a big mistake.”[/size]
[size=45]Ammar Al-Hakim, the leader of Al-Hikma, shares Al-Abadi’s vision in refusing to change the election law, as does the head of the Sanad bloc within the “Framework,” Minister Ahmed Al-Asadi.[/size]
[size=45]A leader in the Dawa Party responded in an interview with (Al-Mada) to these statements by saying, “Haider al-Abadi does not have a political project, and fears the return of al-Maliki, and his words about a second term are inappropriate, but rather contrary to the words of the leader of the rule of law.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maliki said in an interview broadcast recently, “Building a bridge or a hospital is not enough for a person to deserve a second term,” in what appeared to be a reference to the Sudanese who launched a campaign to build bridges in Baghdad.[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the Dawa Party believes that “it is too early to say that Sudan will have a second term... If the analogy is the bridge campaign, then if it fails, its harm will be greater for the prime minister.”[/size]
[size=45]The leader, who requested to remain anonymous, points out that “winning seats alone does not guarantee the position of prime minister, but rather the matter requires consensus.”[/size]
[size=45]It is noteworthy that in 2014, Al-Maliki had won 105 seats in Parliament from 700,000 votes, but the prime ministership went to Al-Abadi, who won 4,000 votes at the time, according to what the leader says.[/size]
[size=45]Regarding the multiple constituencies and early elections, the leader of the Dawa Party reveals details of the dispute that leaked in the past few days.[/size]
[size=45]He says, “A delegation from the Sadrist movement contacted leaders from the Dawa Party and presented the idea of ​​early elections.”[/size]
[size=45]Information had circulated that Al-Maliki was the one who sent messages to Al-Sadr in an attempt to bring him back from retirement, which he announced in August 2022.[/size]
[size=45]The leader adds: “We do not support early elections unless the Sadrists want it, and it seems they do. Then we will be on their side.”[/size]
[size=45]The leader justifies his alignment with the Sadrists, saying: “It is better than for the group (meaning the Sadrists) to remain in an ambiguous position and outside the political process. Their participation in the elections means their conviction in the political system.”[/size]
[size=45]Until now, Muqtada al-Sadr refuses to return to politics or participate with the “corrupt people,” as he describes the political forces in his tweets.[/size]
[size=45]The leader also points out that the State of Law and the “current” share the idea of ​​returning to “multiple constituencies,” but not as happened in the 2021 elections.[/size]
[size=45]He continues: “The Sadrists informed us of their desire to return to multiple constituencies, but we want to change the size and shapes of the electoral districts, and to overcome the mistakes that were made in the recent legislative elections in the distribution of districts.”[/size]
[size=45]The multi-district law was passed with the support of Al-Sadr, and with the objection of most of the Shiite forces, which then formed the “coordinating framework.”[/size]
[size=45]In addition, Al-Hikma Movement member Rahim Al-Aboudi denies discussing “early elections within the coordination framework,” and says that “early elections will affect political and security stability and service projects.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Aboudi continues: “There is an urban renaissance and stability, and the first Sudanese term will continue until the end, despite the presence of a few voices opposing this.”[/size]
[size=45]These voices also oppose a second term for Sudanese, according to what a member of the Al-Hikma Movement says. He added: “Al-Sudani’s successes convinced most of the political forces to renew his term, with the exception of some who objected within the framework.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Aboudi speaks of the “discomfort” of some political parties with the Prime Minister’s formation of an electoral list, as is the custom with every prime minister.[/size]
[size=45]He says that “each prime minister forming a new bloc government will disturb the mood of the rest of the partners because he will be an important competitor in the elections.[/size]
