[size=52]A leader in the Al-Halbousi Party: The defection of figures from Taqadum pushes the Sunni component through difficult stages[/size]

[size=45]The leader of the Taqaddam Party, Hisham Raafat, said today, Saturday, that the defection of figures from his party is pushing the Sunni component towards difficult stages, while he hinted at the possibility of re-nominating Shaalan Al-Karim for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives.[/size]
[size=45]Raafat said, “The defection of a number of figures from the Taqaddam Party may lead to undesirable scenarios for the Sunni House.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, “Attempts to exclude the Taqadum Party from winning the parliamentary presidency will put the Sunni component through difficult stages.”[/size]
[size=45]Raafat hinted at “the possibility of re-nominating Representative Shaalan Al-Karim for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives,” noting that “transcending political convention is not in the interest of the entire political process.”[/size]
[size=45]In the first week of this June, 11 representatives in the Iraqi parliament and members of the provincial councils announced their defection from the “Taqaddum” party bloc, headed by Muhammad al-Halbousi, and the establishment of a political front called the “Initiative” bloc.[/size]
[size=45]This came in a press conference held by MP Ziad Al-Janabi, in which he announced this in a statement read among the dissident MPs and members.[/size]
[size=45]In the statement, the representatives and dissident members attributed the reason for their taking this step to “the state of stagnation that political life has reached, and the inability of the legislative authority to elect a new speaker of parliament for many months, which prompted us to establish the (Initiative) bloc to break the closure in the political scene.”[/size]
[size=45]They added that “the bloc adopts the principle of standing at the same distance from all parties,” demanding the fulfillment of what was included in the political agreement paper, as a result of which the current Iraqi government was formed, headed by Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani.[/size]
