Political conflicts are escalating within the corridors of the Nineveh Provincial Council day after day, after voting on collective exemptions for heads of administrative units, as members of the Nineveh Future Alliance, which includes the Coordination Framework alliances and other parties that constitute 16 members of the council, which has 29 members, voted, while the Unified Nineveh Bloc, which has 9 seats, along with the Kurdistan Democratic Party with four seats, boycotted the session and suspended their work in the council.[/size]
[size=45]The United Nineveh Bloc reiterated its emphasis on the “illegitimacy and illegality” of the procedures for electing and replacing heads of administrative units in Nineveh Governorate.[/size]
[size=45]The council member for the Unified Nineveh Bloc, Ahmed Al-Abd Rabbo, said, “The procedures are in violation of the law and the constitution,” describing the issue of replacing the heads of administrative units as “the obstacle that hinders the path of reconstruction in Nineveh.”[/size]
[size=45]Meanwhile, Al-Abd Rabbo welcomed the Nineveh Governor’s call for dialogue and called on “the political blocs to attend in order to get out of the current crisis.”[/size]
[size=45]For its part, the Nineveh Future Bloc stressed the need to proceed with the procedures for replacing and appointing the heads of administrative units in Nineveh.[/size]
[size=45]Marwan Al-Taie, a member of the council for the Nineveh Future Bloc, said that his bloc “is proceeding with the procedures for appointing heads of administrative units, considering that the session held in this regard is in accordance with the law and the constitution.”[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that his bloc "will boycott the dialogue session called for by the governor of Nineveh, considering it an interference in the work of the council."[/size]
[size=45]A number of Nineveh representatives announced last Monday evening their support for the Nineveh Provincial Council’s decisions to dismiss the heads of administrative units, and expressed their surprise at attempts to disrupt the council’s work.[/size]
[size=45]MP Abdul Rahim Al-Shammari, standing in the middle of a group of MPs at a press conference in Mosul, said: “We, the MPs of Nineveh Governorate and representatives of the political blocs allied in forming the local government from all spectrums and components of the people of Nineveh, support the decision of the provincial council to dismiss the heads of administrative units whose legal term has expired, including those who have held the position without interruption for more than 20 years, and to elect their replacements in accordance with the provincial councils law.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Shammari expressed his surprise at the attempts to disrupt the council, saying: “We express our surprise at the statements of some representatives and members of the Nineveh Provincial Council who are trying to disrupt the work of the council and their rejection of democratic practices,” calling on the governmental and political authorities in Baghdad to “stand with the people of Nineveh province and stay away from political compliments to some executive and political figures for narrow interests and not to repeat the era of marginalization that Nineveh has suffered from over the past twenty years.”[/size]
[size=45]At the conference, Al-Shammari called on the political blocs that formed the local government in Nineveh Governorate to “sit down to name the directors of the departments and heads of the remaining administrative units, according to the electoral entitlement.”[/size]
[size=45]Last Monday, Nineveh Governor Abdul Qader Al-Dakhil called on the parties in the Nineveh Provincial Council to hold a dialogue session to end the differences.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Dakhil said in a statement, “I call on the members of the Nineveh Council from the blocs and components to sit at a dialogue table in the Nineveh Governorate building in order to come up with solutions that satisfy all parties and in order to serve the city and complete its urban journey, which has begun to be affected by these conflicts.”[/size]
