Iraqiya will never give premiership to Maliki
BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Al-Iraqiya is committed to the nomination of the alliance’s head, Ayad Allawi, to the position of Iraq’s prime minister, and that the Al-Iraqiya will never make concessions in this regard to the head of the Dawlat al-Qanoon Alliance, Nouri al-Maliki, said the adviser of the Al-Iraqiya.
“The Dawlat al-Qanoon is making offers to the Al-Iraqiya regarding other positions than the premiership, but the Dawlat al-Qanoon can keep these offers for its own to participate in the upcoming government as the second winner in election, because the Al-Iraqiya will never give al-Maliki the premiership position,” Hani Ashor, the adviser of the Al-Iraqiya Alliance, said on Sunday.
He noted that this stance has been repeatedly mediated to the Dawlat al-Qanoon that the Al-Iraqiya will never make concessions regarding its constitutional right to form the new Iraqi government, and that Allawi is the new prime minister, Ashor, the adviser of the Al-Iraqiya Alliance, said.
“Among the reasons that neither Al-Iraqiya nor any other bloc has been able to reach an agreement with al-Maliki is that all the blocs refuse to offer him another term in office, because he could not assure the blocs that he will change his approach,” Ashor, adviser of the Al-Iraqiya Alliance explained.
He illuminated that al-Maliki monopolizes power for the interest of his party and others around him, and that he uses authority against anyone who opposes him, a matter that the blocs do not want to have for four more years, says Hani Ashor, the adviser of the Al-Iraqiya Alliance
“Negotiations with the Dawlat al-Qanoon Alliance will achieve nothing, unless al-Maliki disregards the idea of being in office for a second term, and accepts other major positions that only al-Iraqiya can guarantee to him and his party,” Ashor noted.
