Arbil, said Ahmed Chalabi, head of the Iraqi National Congress WIN under the list of the National Coalition on Saturday, expressed support for the candidature of leader of the Islamic Supreme Council, Adel Abdul Mahdi as prime minister, noting that travel out of the country prevented his attendance at the meeting of the coalition.

This support comes one day after the nomination of Abdul-Mahdi for the National Coalition for the post of prime minister's controversial, amid rejected by the Reform Movement, led by former Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari, who is also absent from yesterday's meeting.

A statement issued by the Information Office of Adel Abdul Mahdi, said that he met with Chalabi in his Baghdad office and discussed "developments in the political arena."

According to the statement, Chalabi "came to bless Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi, named an official candidate for the National Coalition for the post of Prime Minister and Declares its support for this nomination."

It was a lot of Iraqis are hoping to form the government before the American withdrawal, but all the winners in the elections could not, until now, because of the conflict on the prime minister that pits him severely, a coalition of Iraq led by Iyad Allawi (91 seats) and the rule of law led by Nuri al-Maliki ( 89 seats).
