A report reveals Al-Sadr's choice if the independents failed to form a government with him
A Western press report monitored by (Iraq Today) says that Muqtada al-Sadr is now unable to form a new government, so he may have decided that there are other ways to marginalize his opponents, starting with appointing officials in Parliament.
After Muqtada al-Sadr offered independent MPs the opportunity to nominate a prime minister, Muqtada al-Sadr is already looking for the next option to break the country's political deadlock: keeping Mustafa al-Kazemi.
It has been seven months now since Iraqis went to the polls in parliamentary elections in October, and the fierce rivalry between the two camps - one led by the influential cleric al-Sadr and the other by the Shiite coordinating framework - has prevented anyone from forming a government.
A week ago, al-Sadr called on elected independents in parliament to form their own bloc and nominate a prime minister whose coalition - made up of Sadr's lawmakers, Sunni parties and the Kurdish Democratic Party - would support.
However, Iraqi political leaders involved in government formation talks have told al-Sadr that they have few expectations that they will do so, and are instead looking to keep current Prime Minister Al-Kadhimi in office for six months to a year.
“Al-Sadr is in no hurry to form a government. Retaining the current situation as it is for six months or a year is one of the solutions that is being strongly proposed now,” said one of the prominent leaders of Sadr’s Save the Homeland Alliance and who is close to Masoud Barzani, the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party.
He added that "there is no circumstance or local or international factor that pressures any of the players in the tripartite alliance to expedite the formation of the government."
He added, "If we talk about the United States, it is busy in other parts of the world and does not care much about what is currently happening in Iraq. As for Iran, the continuation of the situation is less harmful than the outbreak of fighting between Shiites and Shiites.
Parliament ’s move to al-Sadr has already had a great influence on the Al-Kazemi government, and in October his party “Sairoon Alliance” emerged as the clear victor. Since then, he has attempted to form a "majority government" alongside his Kurdish and Sunni allies that would marginalize the Shiite factions, collectively known as the Coordination Framework.
Unhappy with their exclusion from the next government, those factions boycotted Parliament and ensured that there was no quorum to continue the government formation process. But permanent stagnation would also be harmful.
If al-Sadr is able to maintain a monopoly on control through his control of parliament and the Kadhimi government, opposition groups will find their influence and power waning.
To prove the seriousness of his plan, al-Sadr did not wait for the two-week deadline for independents to take his next steps. He and his allies have declared that parliamentary work will continue regardless of whether or not the boycotters attend.
