Prominent Iraqi Shia figure Hadi al-Amiri who was also dispatched to lead the negotiations between the Coordination Framework (CF) and powerful Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, Iraqi media reported on Friday, proposed a new initiative to Sadr.
Sadr’s objection to nominating Muhammed al-Sudani by the Coordination Framework brought a new phase of Iraq’s government formation deadlock, after he rejected al-Sudani’s nomination for the premiership, and set a deadline to dissolve the parliament.
Amid approaching the deadline final point, Amri told Sadr that the Shiite Coordination Framework is ready to hand over al-Sudani for another nominee, according to Iraqi media reports.
Amri’s initiative said, the CF will nominee several figures and Sadr can give consent to one of the CF’s nominees.
As the first step to form the new government out of the Sadrist movement, the coordination nominated Mohammed Al Sudani for Iraq’s premiership in late July.
However, the nomination has triggered political unrest in Iraq, resulting in Sadrist’s supporters protesting and demanding the dissolution of the current parliament and calling for a snap election by storming the parliament building inside the fortified Green Zone of Baghdad.
