The head of the National Wisdom Movement, Mr. Ammar al-Hakim, warned against making a new amendment to the election law, while stressing that there is no imposition of a candidate on the Sunni component for the position of Speaker of Parliament.
Al-Sayyid Al-Hakim said to the “Taht Khatin” program, which is shown on Al-Iraqiya News and followed by the (INA), that “the results of the recent elections were good for the National Al-Hikma Movement,” pointing out that “the amendment that took place in the election law had good outcomes for all political forces.” .
He added, “Any electoral law must be aligned with the political system and not with the desires of the parties,” stressing that “a new amendment to the electoral law would be useless.”
He pointed out that “some representatives who want to amend the law go to multiple districts and each district has an electoral list,” explaining that “the content of the new amendment to the election law is to keep the lists and return to the districts.”
He continued, “The state administration coalition is still active and organized.”
He pointed out that “the recent visit of the head of the Taqaddam Party, Muhammad Al-Halbouni, was to discuss the candidate for the Speaker of Parliament,” noting: “There is no imposition from the Shiite and Kurdish components on the Sunni component to present a candidate for the presidency of Parliament.”
He stated that “everyone is making an effort to present the Sunni component with one candidate to relieve the embarrassment of the other components,” noting that “the coordination framework did not present a candidate for the position of Speaker of Parliament, but rather interacted with some of them.”
He continued: “We were part of a committee within the coordination framework that chose the Sudanese for the position of Prime Minister,” noting that “three names were put forward to vote for the position of Prime Minister, and one of them withdrew.”
He went on to say: “There were attempts to have the Sadrist movement attend and participate in choosing the prime minister,” stressing that “offers were made to the Sadrist movement in 6 ministries to participate in the government.”
He pointed out that “Al-Sudani received the support of the national parties to head the government,” noting that “there is a regional keenness to see a stable Iraq.”
He stated that “special circumstances made the Al-Hikmah Movement refrain from participating in forming the government,” pointing out that “although the results of the 2021 elections were not expected, the interest of the people is the most important.”
