The State of Law coalition, led by Nouri al-Maliki, expected today, Monday, that Mohsen al-Mandalawi will continue as president of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, until the end of the current (fifth) parliamentary session .
The leader of the coalition, Saad Al-Muttalabi, said: “The disputes between the Sunni political forces are still continuing and are unresolved, especially since the issue of electing the Speaker of Parliament cannot be resolved without agreement between Muhammad al-Halbousi and Khamis al-Khanjar, and there is no agreement between the two parties until now .”
Al-Muttalabi added, “According to all data, things are moving towards keeping Mohsen Al-Mandalawi as head of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, until the end of the current parliamentary session, and no new speaker of Parliament can be elected, as there is no Sunni-Sunni agreement to resolve the issue .”
The political forces have not been able to elect a new speaker of Parliament since the termination of Muhammad al-Halbousi’s membership in November 2023 due to disagreements, at a time when the coordination framework set the 20th of last July as the date for resolving Sunni disputes over this file, without any commitment to the date .
