According to Kordpress, Hizb-ul-Dawa Islami, by publishing a statement about the process of forming the future government of Iraq, emphasized that Nouri Maliki's candidacy for the post of prime minister is still standing and he has not withdrawn from this nomination until now.

In this statement, it is stated that Nouri Maliki was nominated as the "Coordination Framework" candidate for the post of Prime Minister and this nomination, which was officially announced on January 24, has not been canceled or withdrawn yet.

Hizb al-Dawa also announced that Maliki has not made any agreement to withdraw from his candidacy.

In the continuation of this statement, it is emphasized that the decision about the possibility of withdrawing from the nomination is solely in the hands of the coordination framework; Because this coalition nominated Maliki as a candidate with the majority of votes and any changes in this process should be done based on the same mechanism.

In another part of this statement, the news published about the introduction of a replacement by Nouri Maliki is misread.

At the same time, Hizb al-Dawa clarified that there is a clear difference between Maliki's support for a proposed candidate and his commitment to the coordination framework candidate.
