Shafaq News / Al-Fateh Alliance, led by Hadi Al-Amri said on Thursday, that it has the ability to pass the government of Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi in the parliament, as happened with voting on the decision to remove foreign forces.

The Iraqi Parliament voted at the beginning of this year to pass a resolution requiring the exit of foreign forces from Iraq amid the Kurds of and most of the Sunnis boycott the session.

"We want to pass Allawi government in the parliament in a consensual manner not by imposing the wills, but we can pass it without consensus as well, because we have a majority, as Shiite political forces," said coalition leader Mohammed Karim to Shafaq News.

He stated that "if some political forces continue to pressure for the formation of a government according to quotas and distribution of spoils, here we will have a position to pass Allawi under the dome of Parliament, by a majority, provided that Allawi's program is convincing to us and provides the names of independent and professional ministers."

It is assumed that Allawi, who was named Prime Minister after a difficult consensus reached by the political blocs, will present his formation to Parliament before the second of next March to vote on it, according to the constitution.

For its part, the Iraq Center for Legal Development (ICLD), revealed today a constitutional breach of the mandate of the appointed Prime Minister.

The Center pointed out in a letter directed to the Presidency of the Republic that the assignment of Mr. Allawi to form a cabinet was not a constitutional mandate because he was not nominated by all components of the largest parliamentary bloc in accordance with Article 76 / First of the Constitution, which is considered a clear constitutional violation.

The Center affirmed its appreciation for the exceptional circumstances that the country is going through, and its standing with the nomination of a person like Mr. Allawi, but that this should not be contrary to constitutional controls, calling on the Presidency of the Republic to correct this apparent violation.

Since October 1, Baghdad and the predominantly Shiite cities of the south have been witnessing demonstrations calling for early elections and fighting corruption, which prompted former Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi to resign.
