Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Muqtada Sadr's supporters announced on Saturday (October 15) that they will not participate in the future government that will be formed by the new Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani.
The supporters of Moqtada Sadr announced their refusal to join the new government of Iraq when only two days have passed since the election of Abdul Latif Rashid as the new president of this country.
Mohammad Saleh al-Iraqi, one of Sadr's close allies, said in a statement on his Twitter account: "We clearly and decisively prohibit all our allies from participating in the formation of this government."
Mr. Al-Sudani is the new prime minister, a 52-year-old Shiite politician who was previously the minister of human rights in Nouri al-Maliki's government. He has the support of the Iraq Coordination Framework coalition, which controls 138 seats out of 329 seats in the Legislative Assembly.
The Iraq Coordination Framework Coalition is one of the serious rivals of Moqtada Sadr, who holds the majority in the Iraqi House of Representatives.
In June, Mr. Sadr ordered 73 members of his supporters to resign from the parliament. His action made the Iraqi parliament available to the members of the coordination framework.
In his statement on Saturday, Mohammad Saleh al-Iraqi called the future government of Iraq openly subservient to the military, which is "not capable of satisfying the wishes of the Iraqi people." He said that Muqtada Sadr's supporters refuse to participate in the formation of any government led by Sudani or any candidate from among former political figures or those affiliated with corrupt people. He added: "Anyone who joins their ministries is not only not from us, but we will deal with him."
Early elections were held in Iraq last year following nationwide protests in October 2019 to condemn corruption in governance, dilapidated infrastructure and lack of services and youth employment.
The coordination framework coalition wanted the formation of a new government before any voting; While Sadr movement once again called for early elections.
The tension between the two rival currents reached its peak on August 29 this year. At that time, several people were killed and injured in various cities following the massive protests of Sadr's supporters.
A few days later, Moqtada Sadr called on his supporters to calm down and announced that he would completely withdraw from politics.
