These are the conditions for al-Sadr's allies to leave him and join the coordination
framework government
The eyes of the Iraqis turn to the city of Erbil in the Kurdistan region, where the expected meeting of the "Sovereignty" alliance, representing the Sunni Arab political forces, will be held with the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the ruler in the region, led by Massoud Barzani. It is scheduled that this meeting will come out with a joint decision regarding the developments of the political crisis. Either by boycotting the steps of forming the “coordinating framework” coalition for the new government and declaring the two parties’ adherence to their partnership with the Sadrists, or by declaring political conditions and demands and others that enter the government’s program and it is expected that they will have a high or incapacitating ceiling. Others put forward other expectations, such as rejecting the fate of the first winner of the elections (the Sadrist movement) and demanding his return to Parliament.
Leaks confirmed that "the meeting will include Masoud Barzani, the head of the "sovereignty" coalition Khamis al-Khanjar, and the current parliament speaker, Muhammad al-Halbousi, who returned to Baghdad after a two-day visit to Jordan.

The "Sovereignty" alliance and the Kurdistan Democratic Party were left with only two paths: either go towards participating in a government formed by the "coordinating framework" or take the role of the parliamentary opposition as a political position in solidarity with al-Sadr.
The Kurdish position in Erbil seems more encouraging to talk about the possibility of going with the "Coordination Framework" coalition with a new government, but without a declared agreement, as the government and parties of the region hold the coalition responsible for many of the files that the allies will have to resolve before the Kurds are expected to go with them with one government.
The most prominent of these files are the repeated bombing of Erbil, and the support of some parties of the coalition for the Iranian missile attack in mid-March on the city under the allegations of the presence of Mossad headquarters there, as well as the refusal to withdraw militants from the region’s borders, the file of oil and gas exports, Kurdistan’s share of the budget, and other issues, all of which are considered controversial.
