The head of the Popular Mobilization Office, Faleh al-Fayyad, said that “the re-holding of the Iraqi parliamentary elections is no longer a problem for the al-Sadr movement”, noting that “the coordination structure (which includes the Shiite political forces, with the exception of the movement) has not yet taken its position of the official from holding early elections.
In an interview with the Qatari channel Al Jazeera, he said that the presence of the masses under the dome of the parliament is not normal, “and we see this as a temporary situation that can be circumvented”, noting that “dissolving parliament and holding early elections will be a solution, if all the blocs and other political parties agree”, pointing out that “the system of government in Iraq – according to the constitution – is consensual, and this is impossible.” take one position for a particular party.”
Al-Fayyad confirmed that “the coordination framework empowered the leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Hadi al-Amiri, to communicate with the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, but the final decision to resolve the crisis will be in the hands of the structure”, noting that “the current government is provisional government and has no authority to hold re-elections. He emphasized that the crowd “has chosen for itself not to be a political party in a crisis at all.”
Supporters of the Sadrist movement continue their sixth consecutive sit-in at the parliament building in Baghdad. Meanwhile, Al-Sadr, in a televised speech on Wednesday, called for the dissolution of parliament and early elections, saying “there is no benefit from dialogue.”
