Maliki, Abadi make a deal. Maliki withdraws lawsuit, relinquishes Prime Minister post
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) An MP for the State of Law Coalition, Haitham
al-Jubouri, said on Thursday that an agreement has been set between
outgoing Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Prime Minister-designate
Haider al-Abadi, while noting al-Maliki will withdraw his lawsuit from
the Supreme Federal Court.
Jubouri said in an interview for IraqiNews.com that “there was
mediation between the brothers of the Dawa Party and outgoing Prime
Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Prime Minister-designate Haider Abadi to
resolve their differences.”
Jubouri added that “al-Maliki will withdraw the lawsuit he filed with
the Supreme Federal Court regarding constitutional violations,”
pointing out that “al-Maliki will hold a press conference with Abadi to
announce the settlements and agreements.”
A leading figure in the Islamic Dawa Party, Salah Abdul Razzaq,
revealed on Thursday that the nomination of Haider Abadi to head the new
government was authorized by the Religious Authority and that Abadi
subsequently received support from the Iraqi National Alliance to form a
new government.
It is noteworthy that on Wednesday evening the Islamic Dawa Party
called on all political blocs to cooperate with the Prime
Minister-designate Haider Abadi and accelerate the formation of the new
government, stressing the importance of concerted powers and blocs to
set aside their differences.
On August 11, 2014 President Fuad Masum, officially appointed the
leader of the State of Law Coalition Haider Abadi to form a government,
which lead to a dispute over the legality of Abadi’s mandate since he
was not an elected candidate for Prime Minister.
