Shafaq News / It is scheduled for the biggest bloc, the National coalition which represents the Shiite component in the country to hold a meeting

to discuss the issue of selecting a candidate to head the next government.

“Shafaq News", has learned from sources within the National coalition that internalized blocs in it will held a meeting today to discuss the nomination of a candidate for the next government, according to the adopted mechanisms and to submit him to the parliamentary blocs in the next session of the parliament.

Kurdish and Sunni blocs Insists not to submit their candidates for the position of the presidency and the parliament only after the National coalition announce its candidate for prime minister.

The Iraqi parliament held its first meeting last Tuesday under the chairmanship of Deputy , Mehdi al-Hafeth as most of the MPs have taken their constitutional oath to delay the session to the eighth of the current week after the withdrawal of the Kurdish and Sunni blocs to fail in nominating the President of the parliament and his two deputies.

The leader of Motahedoun coalition , Osama al-Nujaifi has announced last Thursday, the withdrawal of his candidacy for the presidency of the parliament in Iraq, pointing to changes in key positions in the country.

But outgoing Prime Minister , Nuri al-Maliki had announced last Friday that he will "never" give up his office, defying critics who are demanding hom to leave the office as the country faces an existential threat by “ISIL” gunmen.
