KBC denies concerns towards the next prime minister
Baghdad, The Kurdistan Blocs Coalition (KBC) denied on Friday any concerns about the next prime minister and the implementation of the constitutional demands of Kurdistan Region.
"The KBC doesn't have any concerns towards any person chairing the next government ... The Kurds have a negotiating paper carried by the delegation in Baghdad and we will ally with the bloc that approves on the conditions of the paper," said Mahmoud Othman, a member of the KBC.
Othman said any alliance that takes place between the KBC and another bloc that forms the government will be preceded by singing the conditions to meet the constitutional demand of the Kurds.
The 19-paragraph negotiating paper issued by the KBC requests for the Constitution articles to be implemented – in reference to the disputed areas – and protect the features of a federal democratic system in Iraq.
Other matters of concern in the paper are solutions to the oil deals signed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) with foreign companies as well as the budget of the Region’s Peshmarga forces.
The Kurdish leaders stress on the need to implement Article 140 of the Constitution – concerning disputed areas – as a condition to ally with other political blocs. This is to prevent a further delay in the implementation of the Article as it was not implemented in the past four years.
The KBC has 57 seats in the Iraqi parliament. It includes Kurdistan Alliance, Gorran Movement, Kurdistan Islamic Union, and Kurdistan Islamic Group.
The country witnessed a constitutional crisis after the deadline for choosing the president of the state, the parliament speaker and his two deputies was breached, in conjunction with the close withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from the country.
Iraq has witnessed a broad political mobility to form the new government after the announcement of the election results. Although five months later the blocs have not agreed on who is to form government and which candidates will have the prime minister’s post.
