According to Kordpress, according to the statement of Hizb al-Dawa party, in this meeting, they discussed "the competences of the constitution and the mechanisms of forming a powerful and efficient government that can meet the demands of the citizens and strengthen the stability of the country's political process" and it was emphasized to accelerate the implementation of these competences within the framework of the constitution and laws.

Nouri al-Maliki, who is the secretary general of Hizb al-Dawa Islami, has been announced as the candidate of the Shia movements for the post of Iraqi Prime Minister, but his candidacy has been vetoed by US President Donald Trump.

Washington has threatened to stop cooperation with Baghdad if Maliki returns for a third term as prime minister.

Before the official announcement of this veto by Washington, Masoud Barzani was the first person in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region to congratulate Nouri Maliki on his re-nomination for the post of Prime Minister, but after that, he emphasized the need to protect Iraq's interests and the continuation of Baghdad-Washington relations in his meetings with American officials.

The process of forming the new cabinet of the Iraqi government has stopped at the stage of electing the president. Shia currents are trying to insinuate that the internal differences of the Kurds have caused the political process to stop and the country to enter a legal vacuum, while in fact, the Shia currents themselves are also in conflict over the prime ministerial candidate.

They have nominated Nouri Maliki as a candidate and despite the threats from America, Maliki is not willing to step down. The Shiites plan to postpone their final decision until the fate of negotiations between Iran and America is clarified.
