Baghdad/Al-Masala Al-Hadath: Iraq is experiencing a state of political tension as the date for the election of the Speaker of Parliament approaches, as candidates from across the political spectrum compete.

Information indicates that the competition will be between Salem Al-Issawi and Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani after the exclusion of the “Taqaddum” Party candidate, Shaalan Al-Karim.

It appears from the developments that the Coordination Framework Forces will play a decisive role in making the decision regarding the presidency of Parliament, given that they represent the majority of Parliament. This means that the Sunni forces will have a say in the nomination, while the Shiite forces are expected to be the ones who choose the candidate.

Reports show a discrepancy in the announced candidates, as the “Taqaddum” party continues to support its candidate, Shaalan Al-Karim, while the “Azm” coalition, led by Muthanna Al-Samarrai, announces the nomination of MP Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani.

In a related context, the Sovereignty Party appears in turn by proposing Salem Al-Issawi for the position.

The results of the last session show that Shaalan Al-Karim received 152 votes, ahead of Salem Al-Issawi, who received 97 votes, and also Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, who received 48 votes. These results indicate a clear superiority for Shaalan Al-Karim, but political challenges may change the scene in the later stages.

The Taqadum Party’s continued support for Shalan Al-Karim reflects a strong desire to retain the position, and this may be linked to their political priorities and vision for Parliament.

The difference in views between the “Azm” coalition and the Sovereignty Party appears in choosing the candidate, which reflects political extremism and difficulties in reaching consensus between the competing political parties.

Although Shaalan Al-Karim advanced in the last session, the complex political situation makes it too early to be certain of his final victory, especially with the continued influence of the decision of the Coordination Framework Forces.

The information indicates great challenges facing the Iraqi political forces in choosing the Speaker of Parliament, and shows the tensions in the political arena and the disparity in opinions about the candidates.

The decisions of the Coordination Framework forces will remain decisive in determining the course of the elections and influencing political life in Iraq.
